A non-bailable warrant was issued by a court here on Thursday for the arrest of controversial preacher Zakir Naik. The warrant was issued after Naik failed to present himself before the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
The ED claimed before the court that they had sent four summons to Naik to which there has been no response. It is believed that Naik is currently staying in Saudi Arabia.
Naik is accused of promoting enmity between groups on religious and racial grounds, as also accumalating funds in an illegal way for his NGO. He is said to have been inspiration behind last July's terror attack on an upscale cafe in Dhaka.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
