Mumbai, Oct 27: The National Investigation Agency (NIA), which filed a charge sheet against the Islamic Research Foundation (IRF) founder Dr Zakir Abdul Karim Naik, has claimed that he deliberately and maliciously insulted the religious beliefs of Hindus, Christians and ‘non-Wahabi Muslims’. However, it did not explain what is Wahabi and what is non-Wahabi.

According to NIA, there are 19 immovable properties, including land and buildings, worth ₹104 crore, connected with Dr Naik. The charge sheet, filed in the NIA court, will pave the way for agencies to procure a Red Corner Notice against Dr Naik, who is currently abroad, and refused to return to India claiming that security agencies have leveled false charges against him.

The charge sheet mentions a speech given by Dr Naik in September 2012 during the Ganapati festival, and another speech in Srinagar that was uploaded to his Facebook account by the IRF for public view.

The charge sheet says that nine speeches and/or utterings, in particular, were found to be inflammatory as they hurt the religious sentiments. It also claimed that Dr Naik’s speeches incited violence.

Dr Naik, along with the IRF and Harmony Media Private Limited have been charged under several sections of the Indian Penal Code, andSection 10 (penalty for being member of an unlawful association) of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act.

The charge sheet says investigations have established that Dr Naik and his associates have been promoting enmity and hatred between different religious groups in India and initiating Muslim youth and terrorists in India and abroad to commit unlawful activities and terrorist acts. These activities are causing disaffection against the Government of India, are prejudicial to the maintenance of harmony amongst communities and likely to disturb tranquility, it adds.

The investigation establishes that incriminating public speeches have been in circulation through electronic media, and have been, and continue to be seen, across the world. The minutes of IRF’s Board of Trustees' meetings disclose that the IRF had approved, organised, promoted and funded public lectures of accused Dr Naik, including his incriminating speeches, the charge sheet says. Seized material such as DVD and books list the IRF as the publisher.

Clean chit to Dr Zakir Naik’s sister

The agency gives a clean chit to Nailah Naushad Noorani, sister of Dr Naik, who was a trustee of the IRF Educational Trust along with him. When Dr Naik became a Non Resident Indian in 2013, he appointed Ms Noorani as the Director in Harmony Median as well as Longlast Constructions Company, in his place. But it was found that she was Director on paper only — all the affairs of companies were handled by her brother.

She signed the cheques on the instruction of her brother and had no knowledge of the company affairs. Furthermore, she had received ₹29 crore from Dr Naik through her parents’ bank account between 2013 and 2016. This money was further invested into Harmony Media and Longlast Constructions company as per Dr Naik’s instructions, the charge sheet says.

Bengaluru, May 15: With lockdown-3 coming to an end in a couple of days, Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa on Friday expressed confidence about the Centre announcing relaxation to "many things" after May 17.

"After May 17, the government of India is going to relax so many things, let us wait for it," he said in response to a question from reporters here. "According to me they (centre) will relax everything.... maybe for things like five-star hotels and others they may not give permission for the time being, but for other things they are going to give permission. Let's wait and see."

The nationwide lockdown was initially imposed from March 25 to April 14, then extended to May 3 and again to May 17 to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus. Karnataka Tourism Minister C T Ravi on Wednesday had hinted at the state government permitting the opening of gyms, fitness centres and golf courses, also certain hotels for local tourism purpose after May 17, when the third phase of the COVID-19 induced lockdown comes to an end.

The Muzrai department (in charge of the administration of temples) was also planning to have a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) in place, that needs to be followed at temples once they are opened for the public, officials have said. They said the opening of temples for the public is however subject to the MHA (Ministry of Home Affairs) guidelines.

During the recent video conferencing Prime Minister Narendra Modi had with Chief Ministers of various states, Yediyurappa had proposed doing away with district wise colour-coding and instead advocated strict cordoning of containment zones to control the spread of the pandemic.

He had pitched for resuming all economic activities in stand-alone establishments while continuing the restrictions on malls, cinema halls, dining facilities and establishments with centrally controlled air-conditioning. The CM had suggested that 50 to 100 meters around known clusters be declared as containment zones and commercial activities, including public transport, to be allowed in non- containment zones.
