A special court here on Thursday issued a non-bailable arrest warrant against controversial Islamic speaker Zakir Naik in a case registered by the Enforcement Directorate.
"Issue a non-bailable warrant against Naik," said judge P R Bhavke of the court for Prevention of Money laundering Act cases.
Naik's lawyers Taraq Sayyed and Mubin Solkar argued that as he hadn't been named as an accused in any case before it, the court did not have the jurisdiction to issue NBW against him.
