CBI to probe into Tablighi donations, cash transactions

NEWDELHI: The CBI has registered a preliminary enquiry against the organisers of Tablighi Jamaat for alleged dubious cash transactions and hiding of foreign donations from authorities, officials said on Friday. The agency has not named any specific individual in the enquiry, they added.

The enquiry is registered on a complaint that the organisers of the Jamaat are indulging in dubious cash transactions through illegal and unfair means, the officials said. It is alleged that the organisers had not disclosed foreign donations to the authorities mandated under the Foreign Contributions (Regulations) Act for the purpose, they said.

The agency has started a probe into the financial matters of the Tablighi Jamaat, which attracted headlines after its members who congregated at Nizamuddin in March, were found infected.

THE ENQUIRY IS REGISTERED ON A COMPLAINT THAT THE ORGANISERS OF THE JAMAAT ARE INDULGING IN DUBIOUS DEALINGS. IT IS ALLEGED THAT THE ORGANISERS HAD NOT DISCLOSED DONATIONS
