"We have received a report from Uttar Pradesh on activities of PFI in the state," MHA sources said.
Earlier in the day, Uttar Pradesh Director General of Police (DGP) OP Singh said that PFI was actively involved in the violent protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and there is ample proof against them.
