Khan was released yesterday after the Allahabad High Court suspended his sentence and granted him bail in the dual PAN card case. The special court where he was produced today directed jail authorities to ensure his proper medical treatment. But he was arrested again by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with case a linked to the Mohammad Ali Jauhar University in Rampur. The money laundering investigation involves alleged financial irregularities in the construction and funding of Mohammad Ali Jauhar University that is owned by the Maulana Mohammad Ali Jauhar Trust founded and controlled by Khan.
Sources said the central agency told the court that Khan is in possession of evidence and information relating to the money laundering investigation, but is deliberately withholding it. His custodial interrogation is necessary to identify the alleged proceeds of crime, trace their ultimate utilisation, establish the money trail and confront him with documentary records and witnesses, the court was told.
