Fearing arrest Dr Zakir Naik writes to ED to send questionnaire

February 26, 2017

Mumbai, Feb 26: Physician-turned-Islamic preacher Dr Zakir Naik, against whom the Enforcement Directorate has issued a summons in a money laundering case, has sent another letter stating the agency can send a questionnaire to him as he fears arrest in case of personal appearance. Zakir-Naik

"Our apprehension regarding the probe stood fortified with the arrest of Aamir Gazdar (Naik's confidante), which we are afraid will be the fate of our client in case of personal appearance," Naik said in a letter sent through his lawyer Mahesh Mule. The televangelist stated the agency can send him a questionnaire and that he would respond to it.

Dr Naik stated though he was an NRI, the ED still told the court that he was not joining the investigation and was trying to mislead the probe. ED is probing the preacher and his now proscribed Islamic Research Foundation (IRF) under anti-money laundering laws.

In the summons last month, Dr Naik was asked to appear before the Investigating Officer of the case under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) by January end. The agency wants to record the statement of Naik, who is understood to be abroad.

The ED had registered a criminal case against Naik and IRF last month after taking cognisance of a complaint booked by the NIA under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act against them. The agency is looking into the charges of alleged illegal funds laundered by the accused and the subsequent proceeds of crime thus generated.

Responding to the summons earlier this week, Dr Naik had sent a communication stating he was willing to give statement via any electronic media facility. "My client is willing and ready to give any statement before you via Skype or any other mode of electronic media to assist you in your investigation," he stated in the letter sent through his lawyer.

Andha Kanoon.. Ya allah be with Zakir naik and bestow your mercy on him. Open the doors of easy for ZAKIR NAIK.

ZN, stay abroad only and world knows your valuve except monkeys in banana republic. India is the only loser if you quit Indian citizenship and it was long planned by monkeys.

Most wanted criminals / killers are free in India whereas law is focusing on common citizen for no mistake of them. How can we trust the LAW ans law enforcing authorities.

HOw can we believe when the most of the judges and the authorities are cheddi lickers.. If YOU really want to investigate ... try openly in skype... he will answer all your queries.. and whole of india and world knows how indian cheddis are deceiving and looting honest people of india.
