Four Home Ministry officials suspended for renewing for licence renewal of Zakir Naik's NGO
The officials, whose names were not known immediately, were suspended on Thursday night after it was found that the foreign funding licence for Naik's NGO was renewed recently despite probe against him on the basis of the charge of radicalism against him.
Naik became a controversial figure and came under security scanner after Bangladeshi newspaper 'Daily Star' reported that one of the attackers of the July 1 terror strike in a Dhaka restaurant, was inspired by Zakir's speeches on Peace TV, an international Islamic channel and had run a propaganda on Facebook quoting the preacher.
Naik is banned in the UK and Canada and also in Malayasia.
