NEW DELHI – India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Thursday (Oct 26) filed a charge sheet against controversial Islamic preacher Dr Zakir Naik for allegedly inciting youngsters to terror activities and giving hate speeches.
The 58-page charge sheet accuses Dr Zakir of indulging in malicious actions and disturbing communal harmony between communities.
Dr Zakir is also accused of diverting funds for anti-India activities.
The preacher was in July declared a “proclaimed offender” by a special court and the NIA initiated the process to attach his assets under the law.
Simultaneously, the Indian government had declared the Mumbai-based Islamic Research Foundation (IRF), launched by him, as an “unlawful association”.
Following this, the NIA had raided his offices, a school and a private TV channel offices which were later sealed.
