ED Detains SP Leader Azam Khan After Bail, Attaches University Assets in Money Laundering Case
Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan was detained by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) immediately after his release on bail from Rampur jail in a money laundering case linked to Mohammad Ali Jauhar University. The ED has provisionally attached assets worth over Rs 426 crore related to the university, alleging misuse of government funds and illegal land acquisition. Azam Khan and his supporters have claimed the actions are politically motivated and discriminatory, citing his Muslim identity. The case is ongoing, with Khan to be produced before a special PMLA court in Ghaziabad.
