Azam Khan Arrested by ED After Bail, Sent to 14-Day Judicial Custody in Money Laundering Case
Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) moments after his release on bail from Rampur jail in a dual PAN card case. The ED detained him in connection with a separate money laundering investigation involving alleged financial irregularities and land acquisition issues linked to the Maulana Mohammad Ali Jauhar Trust and University. Azam Khan was remanded to 14 days' judicial custody by a Ghaziabad court and will be lodged in Dasna jail. He and his supporters allege the actions are politically motivated and discriminatory, while authorities cite ongoing investigations and legal procedures.
