After ED, NIA issues non-bailable arrest warrant against Zakir Naik

Mumbai: A special NIA court on Thursday issued a non-bailable arrest warrant against Islamic preacher Zakir Naik on charges of promoting hatred.

The warrant was issued by a Mumbai NIA court.

The latest sanction comes a week after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) issued another non-bailable warrant against him in a money laundering case.

ED had registered the case in a special court under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.

Earlier, the court had sent four summons to Naik, who is in the UAE, to present before it but he didn't appear.

The ED registered the money laundering case last December after a complaint was registered against Naik and others by the NIA under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
