- On Saturday, October 31, 2026, the Enforcement Directorate detained senior Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan immediately after his release from Rampur jail in an alleged money laundering investigation.
- Under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, the agency is investigating financial irregularities involving the Maulana Mohammad Ali Jauhar Trust and Mohammad Ali Jauhar University, both founded and controlled by Khan.
- Recently, the ED attached land and buildings belonging to Mohammad Ali Jauhar University valued at approximately ₹1,170 crore, alleging that government funds and public works donations were channeled into the project.
