Enforcement Directorate Raids Premises Linked To Azam Khan’s Trust

The Enforcement Directorate on Wednesday raided premises linked to the Maulana Mohammad Ali Jauhar Trust and University of jailed Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan as part of a money laundering investigation, officials said.

They said about 10 premises at Rampur and Saharanpur in the state and in Delhi's Jamia Nagar were being searched in the presence of a security team from the CRPF. The action came after the federal agency booked a case under the



Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

The premises include those belonging to a chartered accountant in Saharanpur, two companies and their promoters, who are linked to the Trust. 

The investigation pertains to alleged diversion of government contract funds through private contractors and their subsequent utilisation, including for creation of assets of the Trust and the university, according to ED officials.
