Uttar Pradesh: Enforcement Directorate files charges against Muslim men alleging waqf property sale

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) had taken action by filing a prosecution complaint under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 (PMLA) regarding the case of alleged fraudulent sale of waqf property against four individuals at a special court in Lucknow.

The accused individuals, namely Mustafa Khan, Anush Faridi, Saqib Khan, and Arsheen Faridi, had been implicated in this case.

It is important to note that a prosecution complaint filed by the ED was similar to a charge sheet filed by the police. Additionally, the ED mentioned that the court has acknowledged the charge sheet.

Mustafa Khan, identified as the primary accused in the matter, was apprehended by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on August 8. Presently, he remains in judicial custody, and his bail plea has been denied by the special court. This decision has sparked concerns regarding the impartiality of legal proceedings in this case.
