Samajwadi Party leader and former Uttar Pradesh Cabinet minister Azam Khan has secured four days' custodial remand, beginning at 4.30pm on November 12 and ending at 4.30pm on November 16, after a Ghaziabad court approved his remand in a ₹426.46 crore money laundering case.
The case centers on alleged financial misconduct at Rampur's Mohammad Ali Jauhar University, with the court saying Khan's questioning is key to tracing where the money went and who else was involved.
ED probes land transfers and misuse
The ED is digging into claims of forced land transfers, misuse of funds, and shady government contracts linked to the university. This all kicked off back in 2019 after several police complaints.
Samajwadi Party leader and former Uttar Pradesh Cabinet minister Mohammad Azam Khan was arrested on October 31 and moved from judicial to ED custody so investigators can get clearer answers about how university funds were handled.
