New Delhi: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) plans to summon radical Islamic preacher Zakir Naik soon, and might move for a red corner notice against him if he keeps avoiding official agencies.
According to a report, if Naik doesn't return, a non-bailable warrant could be issued against him and he would get an Interpol notice. This means authorities in Saudi Arabia, where he is believed to be located, would need to hand him over to India.
NIA also wants to examine cases relating to 50 individuals who were drawn to violent extremism after listening to Naik's sermons.
The NIA is currently probing funds received by Naik’s organization the Islamic Research Foundation (IRF) and others, from different countries after the agency raided Naik's residence and premises of firms such as Harmony Media Pvt Ltd, which makes content for the banned Peace TV.
