This Scroll.in story shows how TV channels including Times Now, Zee News and NDTV 24x7 took off on an accusatory binge linking preacher Zakir Naik to the July 1 Dhaka attacks, claiming that they were inspired by him. All extrapolated from a report in Dhaka’s Daily Star which said that one of the Dhaka attackers had shared a video of Naik on his Facebook wall last year. The Daily Star has issued a clarification denying that its story reported that Naik was linked to the attack. Naik himself also objected to this inference last week and complained about it to the Star.
