UK Citizen Teacher's Pension Scam: ED Seizes Rs 20Cr Assets in UP Raids

Uttar Pradesh's law enforcement landscape shifted dramatically as ED teams descended on locations tied to Maulana Shamsul Huda Khan on Thursday. The high-stakes searches in Sant Kabir Nagar and Azamgarh build on police FIRs charging the accused with elaborate fraud and forgery schemes. Hailing from Azamgarh, Khan obtained UK citizenship in 2013 covertly. Shockingly, he drew full salary till 2017 and pensions post-retirement up to 2023, all while living overseas. Delving deeper, ED found NGOs under his influence channeling donations that were fronts for illicit funds. The haul included records of 17 properties valued realistically over Rs 20 crore. As investigations intensify, focus sharpens on international remittances and laundering trails.
