The Enforcement Directorate has attached properties worth ₹16.4 crore in Mumbai and Pune in connection with the money laundering case against controversial Islamic preacher Zakir Naik and others. The ED probe was initiated on the basis of a chargesheet filed by the NIA on October 26, 2017.
The ED had earlier made two provisional attachments worth ₹34.09 crore. “Probe shows ₹49.20 crore was received in the NRE bank accounts of Zakir Naik from his Dubai accounts. Their origin was from unknown sources,” it said.
