New Delhi, Sept 2 (IBNS) : The Union Home Ministry has suspended four officials for renewing the foreign funding licence of Islamic Research Foundation (IRF),run by controversial Islamic preacher Zakir Naik, who is under scanner of security agencies, reports said.

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.
