After confirming India’s extradition bid, Putrajaya says won’t send Dr Zakir Naik back
KUALA LUMPUR, June 28 — Foreign Minister Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah confirmed today the receipt of India’s formal extradition request for preacher Dr Zakir Naik who is wanted there for money laundering.
A special Indian court for the country’s Prevention of Money Laundering Act then ordered the preacher to present himself there to stand trial. Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad previously said Malaysia could decline India’s extradition request, citing Australia’s refusal to extradite Sirul Azhar Omar to Malaysia that convicted the former police commando of murdering Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibuu.
