New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate registered a money laundering case against the Tableeghi Jamaat, the Chief of Islamic group Maulana Saad Kandhalvi in New Delhi.

The police earlier on Thursday had brought charges of culpable homicide not amounting to murder against the 56-year-old chief of the Muslim seminary for holding the gathering last month at its “Markaz” or headquarters in Delhi’s Nizamuddin. The Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR) against Maulana Saad and trusts linked to the Jamaat and others was filed by the agency based on a Delhi Police case.

According to the official sources, the agency is investigating the finances and transactions of the Tableeghi Jamaat and its office bearers over the last few days and has obtained various documents from banks and financial intelligence gathering agencies.

Certain donations received by the organisation from foreign and domestic sources are also under the scanner of the agency, officials said.

The police had initially filed a case against Maulana Saad Kandhalvi for violating a ban on big gatherings. As per the police sources, the “Delhi police had filed a FIR earlier against the Tableeghi chief, now section 304 has been added,” referring to culpable homicide in the penal code, which carries a maximum punishment of a 10-year prison term.
