Multiple images of a man photographed with Islamic preacher Zakir Naik are being circulated on social media with the claim that he is the Sri Lanka suicide bomber. A former officer of the Indian army and a newly-inducted member of the BJP, Major Surendra Poonia was among those who shared<\/a> the photograph. He also shared an image of Congress MP Digvijay Singh with Zakir Naik in an attempt to link an alleged terrorist with the Congress party.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

From a Twitter handle Chowkidar, The Activist\u00a0<\/a>(@AhmAsmiYodha)<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>the post received nearly 4,000 retweets. He addressed controversial Islamic preacher Zakir Naik as “Congress party’s maternal uncle.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Images of the same man posing with Naik are viral on Facebook<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Not the Sri Lanka suicide bomber<\/h2>\n

The man photographed with Zakir Naik is not one of the suicide bombers of the Sri Lanka terrorist attack. He is an Islamic preacher and Naik’s disciple. Reverse-searching the image with the keyword “Zakir Naik” redirected us to an article published in Malaysia-based newspaper Malaymail<\/a> <\/em>on April 28. The man is Muhammad Zamri Vinoth Kalimuthu who was arrested in Perlis, Malaysia on Sunday for alleged blasphemous remarks on Hinduism.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“A brief video said to show Zamri Vinoth being taken into custody was posted on Facebook this morning by Seberang Perai Municipal City Councillor David Marshel,”\u00a0<\/em>reported\u00a0Malaymail.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Polis menahan Zamri Vinot A\/L Kalimuthu di Arau Perlis 2 pagi ini 28\/4\/2019.. Inilah Padah jika mana mana pihak menghina agama lain!!!

There are several other photographs of Zamri with Naik on the former’s Twitter account.<\/p>\n
