Dr Zakir Naik was supposed deliver a talk on ‘What is Islam’ at an interfaith peace conference on January 2 at Nehru Maidan in Mangaluru. Saffron outfits had warned the police and government of dire consequences if Dr Zakir Naik was allowed to enter the city.

Meanwhile, SKSM, the host of the event postponed the event as per the advice of Karnataka home minister G Parameshwara.

Prior to this Citizen Action Forum had filed a petition at the high court urging to impose ban on Dr Zakir Naik’s entry in coastal Karnataka. It had argued that the Islamic scholar’s speech may lead to communal tension in the region.

The vacation division bench of the high court comprising Justice B Manohar and Justice B Veerappa passed the order upholding the temporary ban on Dr Zakir Naik but allowed the SKSM to hold the conference without inviting him.

The 19-year-old victim filed a complaint against the two accused, following which they were nabbed. In her complaint, the victim said that the two friends persuaded her to accompany them in a party where one of them allegedly spiked her drink.
