Rampur, October 31, 2026 – Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan was taken into custody by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) moments after he was released from jail in connection with a PAN cards case, while his son Abdullah was released without any issue. The ED team had arrived at the jail in advance and intercepted Azam Khan as soon as he stepped out of the prison around 7 pm on Saturday.
Azam Khan was taken away in a vehicle amid tight security to the agency's headquarters in Ghaziabad for questioning. His arrest triggered protests from his supporters, who accused the ED of violating the rule of law and suspected the detention was due to his Muslim faith and establishment of Jauhar University.
