ED questions SP leader Azam Khan in Rampur jail regarding money laundering case linked to Jauhar Trust

The troubles facing Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan show no signs of abating. Today, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) questioned senior Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan—currently lodged in Rampur jail—in connection with a money laundering case involving the Jauhar Trust. The ED’s investigation is examining donations received by the trust, financial transactions linked to 11 firms, bank accounts, and the expenditure incurred on the construction of Jauhar University. Amidst the ED’s questioning of Azam Khan, political rhetoric in Uttar Pradesh has intensified; while BJP ministers targeted the Samajwadi Party, the Congress raised questions regarding the government’s actions.
