LUCKNOW/RAMPUR, Oct 31: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Saturday detained senior Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan outside Rampur jail in Uttar Pradesh, moments after he was released on bail in an alleged PAN card fraud case, officials said.
The 78-year-old politician is likely to be formally arrested under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), they added.
Following his detention, the ED is expected to produce Khan before a special court in Ghaziabad, where the agency will seek his custody for further questioning.
