Mumbai, Jul 22: In more trouble for doctor-turned-Islamic preacher Zakir Naik, as one of his alleged followers has been arrested by the Maharashtra ATS and the Kerala Police in a joint operation in connection with suspected conversion case of missing Kerala youths.

arrestedPolice sources said that Arshid Qureshi was arrested after one of the relatives of a missing youth from Kerala accused the former of instigating Hindus and Christians to stop idol worshipping and accept Islam.

Meanwhile, news agencies such as ANI and Times of India have claimed that Arshid Qureshi was a close aide of Dr Zakir Naik and that he was recruiting Kerala youths for the terror outfit Islamic State. However, police have not confirmed these allegations.

Based on a complaint of a Kerala family, the police have booked Qureshi under Sections 153A (promoting enmity between different groups), 34 IPC and 13 UAPA.

If Qureshi's links with IRF is established, this could be the first arrest of a Dr Naik's organisation, which is under scanner since a section of media claimed that two of the Bangladesh cafe attackers were inspired by his preaching.

According to reports, Qureshi was held after the police raided a flat in Seawoods. He was produced before a magistrate's court in CBD-Belapur on Thursday and remanded in transit custody for four days. He will be questioned by the Maharashtra ATS and later taken to Kerala.

Ebin Jacob (25), the brother of Merin alias Mariam who is missing along with her husband Bestin Vincent alias Yahia from Kerala, had told police that there was an attempt to forcibly convert him to Islam and make him join IS.

Ebin had reportedly told Kochi police that Bestin and Qureshi were behind the attempted conversion.

Based on this statement, the Palarivattom police slapped charges under Section 13 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) on the duo and booked them under sections of the IPC.

The case against Qureshi and Bestin could be the first registered under UAPA against any of the 21 Keralites who have gone missing under suspicious circumstances.

Different imams have different opinion about our beloved phophet , but you can follow any one of then no harm in that...but they never twisted any meaning of quran and hadeeth...as a ahl sunnah wal jamath we believe in all imam and their companions

now ur turn, if u r telling ki u r following directly from prophet, then u will give me hadees reference and that hadees was revealed by sahaba right?...same hadees we are following which are revealed by sahaba's

Dear Guru,
Zakir naik studied Comparative religions and it is his right to tell the TRUTH...
In Vedas it is mentioned that NA TASYA PRATIMA ASTI. (There is no idols).. For so long YOur own hindu priests have misguided U guys and ask u people to worship the man made creation like Pratima, idols, pictures, status, worst is the animals and some even worse, they worship the naked people instead of following the Scriptures.

Now ZAKIR naik is telling the truth that there is no IDOL worship in Hinduism itself and the people (who says we are Head) who discriminate others are the leaders of YOUR religion...
U have to learn Y VEDAS say NA TASYA PRATImA ASTI... read and PONDER on this verse also compare it with what ISLAM says about Worshiping ONE GOD.... without image or statues... It will be clear to U & U will realize U are being FOOLED by the HEADS to bow down to the CREATION of ALLAH (god).
God's help come if YOUR intention is HONEST and U search for the TRUTH... TRY it (Just say : O the one who created ME - Guide ME)

TRUTH will prevail Falsehood will perish... even if the deception is as high as the mountain... which many people are blind to see.

Brother Guru,

Brother Neither Naik nor rss gangs can harm India.It is only our thinking ,assumptions promote it.Zakir Naik is a self made man,since it is duty of every mislim to invite non muslim for dialogue(da'wah) ,he is following it.We are obliged to spread the Islamic views to world or else it is a debt on us when we die.Thats it.He was doing his duty.He didnot force anyone to Islam.As he himself asks the non muslim openly do anyone force yo?Is it for fame or money you come to Islam etc?So there is no question of forced conversion.

However all Indian must understand it is a political gimmick by ruling party and some vested intrests who finds profit in defaming nother community people.They are slowly brainwashing the good hindus to hardcore hindus and attach social stigma status on muslims.But we dont care coz we know whatever Allah does is for good.Islam is the solution to mankind not a problem.

No one can convert by force anyone....people are understanding what is right and wrong...if someone understands what is Islam and its truthfulness...then he or she does not need anybodies force to convert...

Zakir Naik did not convert anyone forcefully...if you look at any of his speeches....

One new convert was asked to support jihad ...it is well known fact that women are being trapped to fall in love by giving money to jobless jihadists ...then they are made to join Isis ..same thing happened in Kerala ...yesterday we saw Pakistan flag flying over a jihadis house and last week PFI shouted anti India and pro Pakistan slogans and owaisi offered help to Isis members ...it proves this community wants serious escalation of violence.

Chamaranagara, Mar 29: As many as 595 Tamil Nadu-based fishermen, who were working in Mangaluru, crossed the Karnataka border and reached their state via Chamarajanagar on Saturday.

Police said following the lockdown, the fishermen had left Mangaluru in more than 20 vehicles. The fishermen crossed the Karnataka border through Punajur check-post. However, the vehicles returned after dropping them near Hasanur check-post in Tamil Nadu.

As the fishermen had no proper documents, they were stopped by Tamil Nadu Police. However, the police allowed them after screening. The Tamil Nadu government arranged vehicles to ferry them, said a police officer.
