With Zakir Naik Under ED Scanner, His School Might Shut Down

With Zakir Naik under the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and National Investigative agency (NIA) scanners for money laundering and alleged terror links, a school in Chennai opened by the controversial preacher faces the prospect of closing down in April.

As per a report in the Times of India , the school may shut down in April owing to lack of funds.

According to media reports, Zakir Naik's now-proscribed Islamic Research Foundation(IRF) has dissociated itself from



the 13-year-old school and has cut funding to the institution.

This was after investigative agencies began probing the organisation for money laundering and terror links.

The Islamic International school (IIS) is now reportedly hoping that a minority trust will offer to fund the institution. School authorities are currently using students' fees for daily operations.

"There are 80 children in classes from nursery to Class X," Mukadam said.
