The National Investigation Agency, NIA today filed a charge sheet in a special court in Mumbai against controversial Islamic preacher Zakir Naik for allegedly inciting youth to take up terror activities, giving hate speeches and promoting enmity between communities.
An NIA official said, Naik who is currently abroad, is being probed under terror and money-laundering charges by
the NIA.
Zakir Naik fled from India on July 1, 2016, after terrorists in neighbouring Bangladesh claimed that they were inspired by his speeches.
The NIA had on November 18, 2016, registered a case against Naik. His Mumbai-based NGO, Islamic Research Foundation has already been declared an unlawful association by the Union Home ministry.
