Karnataka High Court Rejects Pleas to Quash UAPA Case on Foreign Fund Transfers
The Karnataka High Court dismissed petitions seeking to quash an FIR against six individuals linked to the US-based Christian missionary group The Timothy Initiative (TTI) under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. The FIR alleges illegal channeling of approximately Rs 92.55 crore into India using foreign-issued debit cards, with funds reportedly reaching Maoist-affected regions in Chhattisgarh and Assam. The Enforcement Directorate claims this bypassed regulatory laws and posed a threat to national security and public order. The court emphasized the risks of extremist financing and upheld the investigation.
