The Income Tax (IT) department on Wednesday raided the premises of Samajwadi Party (SP) leader and former Uttar Pradesh Minister Azam Khan, and several other locations related to his Ali Jauhar Trust in Rampur, Lucknow, Saharanpur and Ghaziabad.
Multiple teams from the IT department reached these locations early in the morning and started their searches. Though there has been no official word from the department, it is believed that the raids are linked to the Ali Jauhar Trust, which runs the Muhammad Ali Jauhar University in Rampur, whose founder and chancellor is Mr. Khan.
