The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has filed a First Investigation Report or FIR against controversial Islamic preacher Zakir Naik for allegedly "spreading enmity" among religions. On today(November 19) morning raids were conducted at 10 locations in Maharashtra linked to his banned organisation Islamic Research Foundation (IRF). 

NIA has registered case against Zakir Naik under the UAPA after examining his speeches on Peace TV which is partially funded by his IRF and he will soon be asked to join the investigation.If he doesn't join ,the agency will ask the court to declare him a proclaimed offender and set in motion to attach the properties of IAF. 

Mr Naik, 50, came under Indian government's scanner after the Bangladeshi government accused him of making speeches that could have incited some of the terrorists who attacked a Dhaka cafe in July, killing 20 people.
