The National Investigation Agency (NIA) declared controversial Islamic preacher Zakir Naik a proclaimed offender, and the process to attach his assets has been initiated. It added that the order declaring Naik a proclaimed offender was issued recently by a special court in Mumbai, after which the process of asset attachment was started.
Naik is being probed by the NIA for alleged terrorism and money laundering. He fled India on July 1, 2016, after one of the terrorists involved in the Dhaka cafe attack said he was “inspired by Naik’s speeches on waging jihad”. Naik is accused of spreading hatred through provocative speeches and laundering crores of rupees over the years
