New Delhi: Enforcement Directorate today attached assets worth Rs 18.37 crore of the Islamic Research Foundation (IRF) run by Dr Zakir Naik which was banned by the Ministry of Home Affairs last year. The ED attached the assets of the IRF under Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
In the same matter early today, the NIA issued another notice to Zakir Naik to be present at the NIA headquarters on March 30. This is the second notice to Zakir Naik to be present before NIA headquarters. Early this month, the Agency had issued a similar notice to Naik but he reportedly failed to appear for investigation.
