The Indian government has banned the Popular Front of India (PFI) - a controversial Muslim group - for five years for allegedly having links with terror groups.

The ban comes amid a crackdown on the organisation over the past week, with authorities twice raiding its offices across several states and arresting many of its leaders.

The PFI, which denies the allegations against it, has held nationwide protests against the raids in recent days.
