The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has registered a preliminary inquiry against the organisers of Tablighi Jamaat on the allegations of dubious cash transactions and non-disclosure of funds received from abroad.

“The CBI has initiated the inquiry on a complaint that the organisers and trustees of Tablighi Jamaat indulged in dubious cash transactions through illegal or unfair means and did not disclose the funds received from abroad,” said a CBI spokesperson. The complainant’s identity has not yet been disclosed.

The CBI will try to determine whether there was any violation of the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act in the receipt of the foreign funds. A preliminary inquiry is converted into a regular case only when there is prima facie evidence.
