ꦍKerala police have said they have registered a case against the family of jailed T S Sainudeen, who was former Idukki district president of the banned outfit PFI (Popular Front of India), for allegedly attempting to smuggle into prison a SIM card hidden in the Quran.

🥂The police said the incident reportedly happened on November 1. The case against his wife, son Mohammed Yasin and Sainudeen's brother was registered under the Prison Act, they said.
