The National Investigation Agency has issued another notice to controversial Islamic preacher, Dr Zakir Naik. The NIA has directed Naik to be present at its office in Delhi on March 30.
This is the second notice that has been issued to Naik in March. The last time the NIA had issued notice to Naik and ordered him to face questioning on March 14. Naik, however, did not respond to the notice. The notice was received by his brother. He had on an earlier occasion sought permission to depose through video conferencing, but the plea was rejected.

The NIA is probing several cases against Naik. They include forcible conversions and also indoctrination of youth who took to terror. The Dhaka Cafe attacker had said that he was inspired by Naik to take up jihad.
