Fund collection in Madani's name in Kerala

Director General of Prosecutions Jacob Punnoose submitted that the 'Justice for Madani Forum' was conducting fund drives in various parts of the state.

All district police chiefs were directed to take necessary legal steps, including registration of case against the concerned, if any specific violation of the provisions of religious institution (Prevention of Misuse Act 1988) was noticed, he said.

He was responding to a writ petition by one T G Mohandas, complaining that the forum was violating the provisions of the act.

Madani, arrested in August last year in connection with the Bangalore blasts that killed two persons and injured 20 others in June 2008, is currently lodged in a Bangalore jail.
