Ghaziabad: Senior Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan's legal troubles have intensified after a court granted the Enforcement Directorate (ED) four days of custody remand in the money laundering case linked to Mohammad Ali Jauhar University. The agency will bring him to Lucknow on Friday for questioning.

The ED plans to question Khan about various aspects of the case, including allegations of money laundering and financial irregularities involving the university. His arrest came shortly after he was released from jail following a High Court order granting him bail.

Khan was lodged in Ghaziabad's Dasna Jail after his arrest. He was released from Rampur jail on October 31 but was arrested by the ED soon after in connection with the Jauhar University case.

On November 1, he was produced before a special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court, which sent him to judicial custody. He had remained in Dasna Jail since then. With the latest order granting four days of custody, the ED is preparing to question him.
