UK-based Indian preacher faces money laundering probe
Maulana Shamsul Huda Khan is an Indian-origin Islamic preacher who now lives in the UK.
He is in trouble because Indian authorities say he did some bad things.
They think he took money from foreign countries and used it in ways that are not allowed.
He also set up schools in India and is accused of teaching extreme ideas.
The authorities are investigating him for these actions.
He became a British citizen in 2013 but is alleged to have continued receiving a salary from an Indian school until 2017, even though he was living abroad and not teaching.
He is also accused of having links with radical groups in Pakistan and the UK.
Maulana Shamsul Huda Khan, a UK-based Indian-origin Islamic preacher, is under investigation by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for money laundering.
Khan is accused of promoting radical ideology and illegally collecting foreign funds for religious education.
He allegedly received substantial funds through multiple bank accounts in India and owns properties worth over Rs 30 crore.
Khan established two madrasas in Azamgarh and Sant Kabir Nagar, both of which have been deregistered by state authorities.
Investigations reveal his links with radical organizations in the UK and Pakistan, including Dawat-e-Islami.
