Zakir Naik's NGO funded people visiting IS-held areas: NIA
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) suspects that Islamic preacher Zakir Naik's banned Islamic Research Foundation (IRF) funded around 300 people, many of whom travelled to areas controlled by the Islamic State. The revelation comes after NIA investigated IRF's funding-related documents and found that an ISIS recruit from Rajasthan was given ₹80,000 as scholarship by the IRF.
