<p>Police here registered a case against Ajmal Foundation, the charity organisation headed by Lok Sabha member Maulana Badruddin Ajmal following an FIR lodged by a BJP leader charging that the foundation received funds from organisations having links with global terror groups.</p>.<p>In his FIR lodged in Dispur police station here on Friday, BJP leader Satya Ranjan Borah sought police investigation alleging that Ajmal Foundation misused the funds it received from foreign organisations allegedly linked to terror outfits.</p>.<p>The FIR was lodged following a similar allegation by Legal Rights Observatory (LRO), an NGO, which posted some documents in Twitter in support of their allegation against Ajmal Foundation.</p>.<p>Police said a case was registered under Section 120-B (criminal conspiracy), 124A (sedition) and 420 (cheating) of IPC and Section 13 of Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA).</p>.<p>On Saturday, Borah alleged that Markazul Ma'arif, an NGO run by Ajmal's business firm also similarly received funds from groups having links with Islamic terror elements.

We maintain 100% transparency in our activities including funding. If they have proof of illegalities, let them file it to the home ministry for an investigation.
