In a major setback for Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan, the Enforcement Directorate arrested him minutes after his release following 11 months in custody. The arrest was made under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act in connection with alleged irregularities and diversion of government funds linked to Mohammad Ali Jauhar University. The central agency previously attached university properties valued at 426 crore rupees across 26 takeover FIRs. Khan questioned the action, stating he only established an educational institution for children and society. The agency is bringing him to Delhi before producing him in a Ghaziabad special court for custody remand.
