Enforcement Directorate raids Azam Khan-owned Jauhar University

Rampur: Sleuths of the Enforcement Directorate on Wednesday carried out an inspection at Rampur-based Muhammad Ali Jauhar University, owned by Samajwadi party leader Muhammad Azam Khan. The ED inspection comes as part of its investigation into alleged “illegal fundraising” and “disproportionate funds and under-valuation of the Jauhar Trust property”. The allegations have been leveled by local BJP leader Akash Saxena.

The local authorities, including the tehsildar andSDM, along with a heavy police force also carried out measurements of the "enemy property land" which was allegedly illegally occupied by the Jauhar Trust. The inspection at Muhammad Ali Jauhar University was carried out by ED Joint Director, Amit Mishra, along with local police and administrative authorities. Rampur district magistrate Ravendra Mander told TOI, "The officers of the Enforcement Directorate carried out spot inspection at Muhammad Ali Jauhar University. They were assisted by additional district magistrate Lalta Parsad and other local officers." Despite several attempts, university authorities didn't pick TOI calls.
