PTI reported that the criminal case against Hussain has been filed under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. Hussain is facing charges of killing Intelligence Bureau official Ankit Sharma during the riots in northeast Delhi last month.
The police registered a similar case against PFI, which is already facing a separate charges of money laundering.
The Delhi police had earlier alleged that Hussain had links with the PFI, and had also alleged that protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act were being financed by the outfit.
PTI had reported the Delhi police as saying that PFI provoked anti-CAA protesters to come out on the streets when US President Donald Trump was visiting.
The case against Hussain comes two days after the Delhi police had arrested PFI member Mohd Danish from his home in Trilokpuri in Delhi.
Danish was picked up by the special cell of the Delhi police for reportedly putting up posters and banners mentioning inflammatory slogans in northeast Delhi where the riots took place.
