NEW DELHI: Amid reports that fugitive Zakir Naik is visiting Oman, the government said on Friday it’s doing all it can to bring Naik to justice. The MEA said it’s in touch with Oman on the issue.
“Zakir Naik is an accused in numerous cases in India. He is a fugitive from justice. We have taken up the matter with the government of Oman and Oman authorities,” said spokesperson Arindam Bagchi.
The MEA official also said India will continue to make all efforts to get economic fugitives, including Mehul Choksi, to face justice in India.
The name of Choksi, who is wanted in India in connection with the Rs 13,000 crore bank fraud in the PNB, was dropped from the Red Corner Notice list, a move that grants him freedom to freely travel out of Antigua and Barbuda, where he is holed up after fleeing from India in 2018.
