ED Detains SP Leader Azam Khan in Money Laundering Case After Bail in PAN Card Case
Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan was detained by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a money laundering case linked to alleged financial irregularities and land issues involving Mohammad Ali Jauhar University in Rampur. His arrest came shortly after the Allahabad High Court granted him bail in a separate dual PAN card case. The ED has provisionally attached university assets valued at over Rs 1,170 crore. Khan and his supporters allege the actions are politically motivated and target him for his Muslim identity, while authorities cite ongoing investigations under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
