Zakir Naik booked; NIA raids Islamic Research Foundation premises
Mangalore Today News Network
Mumbai, Nov 19, 2016: The National Investigation Agency (NIA), along with the Mumbai Police, on Saturday carried out searches at 10 places in a case registered against preacher Zakir Naik’s Islamic Research Foundation (IRF) in Mumbai.
The NIA had named Zakir Naik, IRF, and others in an FIR registered under anti-terror law Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act on Friday.
The search operations are still underway at IRF premises.
The central government had on Tuesday banned IRF for five years with immediate effect.
The move came after the government found the Islamic preacher to be involved in utilising funds meant for his NGOs for radicalisation of youths.
Some other organisations, being run by Naik, have also been under the government scanner, sources added.
