Zakir Naik, an Islamic preacher wanted in India for money laundering and inciting religious extremism, has been moved to a top private hospital in Malaysia because he has a terrible viral infection that may not be able to be treated. Because it is a politically and diplomatically sensitive matter, Naik, his family, and the Malaysian government have not said anything official about his condition.
Several reports say that Naik is being treated in the Sunway Medical Center in Petaling Jaya, which is near Kuala Lumpur. This hospital is very high-tech and is known for treating famous people. The hospital hasn’t disclosed what kind of ailment he has or anything else, which has led to more speculation.
Indian officials have been pushing for Naik to be sent back to India for years. He has lived in Malaysia since 2016, when he gained permanent status. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) argues that his talks and his Peace TV show, which India later banned, made people upset and turned young people into extremists.
People say that Naik had gone to Malaysia earlier for medical care because he was having health problems. But the current scenario has gotten more attention since it is so secret. People who know about the problem say that the hospital and government are being “exceptionally discreet” because he is well-known and there could be political fallout in both nations.
Reports regarding his health are still not established, and people are still trying to figure out what kind of ailment he has on their own.
