India further tightens the noose around Islamic Scholar Zakir Naik
NEW DELHI: Controversial Islamic preacher and televangelist Zakir Naik's passport has been revoked after his consistent failure to present himself before the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in connection to alleged terror-funding cases.



The Regional Passport Office in Mumbai has revoked Naik's passport, after he failed to respond to a showcause notice issued to him for personal appearance by July 13. 

The notice was served asking Naik why his passport should not be revoked in view of various investigations pending against him.
