Azam Khan was taken into custody by the Enforcement Directorate right after being released from Rampr jail, with CRPF assistance.
Azam Khan was escorted out of Rampr jail and immediately placed under arrest by a team of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Saturday. The operation was coordinated with CRPF personnel who arrived at the jail premises and helped secure the former minister.
The ED had filed a case against Khan on October 14, relating to alleged financial irregularities. Following the arrest, he was taken into ED custody for further interrogation.
Earlier this week, the Allahabad High Court granted bail to Khan and his son Abdullah Azam in two PAN‑card fraud cases, suspending their sentences. The latest arrest underscores the agency's swift action once the bail order was executed.
