Radical Islamic preacher Zakir Naik has reportedly been admitted to Sunway Medical Center in Malaysia, a leading private hospital specializing in oncology, cardiology, and infectious diseases. Sources indicate that Naik may be suffering from HIV, raising concerns over his health and potential diplomatic implications.
Naik, wanted in India on charges of money laundering and radicalization, has been under medical care for various complications, including metabolic disorders. The latest reports suggest that his treatment at Sunway Medical Center is being handled with high-level sensitivity due to the religious, political, and diplomatic ramifications of his condition.
According to CNN-News 18, Malaysia’s government is reportedly keeping Naik’s medical status discreet, given his controversial image as a radical preacher and the sensitivities surrounding his alleged HIV diagnosis.
Health officials and security sources indicate that Naik is receiving specialized care for HIV, in addition to ongoing treatment for other health issues. The development has the potential to impact India’s extradition requests, as authorities weigh the risks posed by his fragile health.
Naik’s admission to Sunway Medical Center comes amid continued scrutiny over his activities and his inclusion on India’s most-wanted list for alleged involvement in money laundering and radicalization. Observers note that his condition could influence both international diplomatic relations and ongoing legal proceedings.
A diagnostic report circulating on social media claims that Zakir Abdul Karim Naik tested positive for HIV at Pantai Hospital in Kuala Lumpur. However, the authenticity of the report and whether it actually pertains to the preacher could not be independently verified.
Naik’s lawyer has strongly denied the claims, dismissing them as “rubbish” and “fake news.”
