ED Raids 12 Maharashtra Sites in Money-Laundering Probe Into Nandurbar’s JIIU Trust

The investigation traces to a police case that followed the trust’s FCRA registration being cancelled for alleged diversion of foreign funds.

Overview

  • Enforcement Directorate teams searched locations in Nandurbar and Mumbai linked to Jamia Islamia Ishaatul Uloom and associates under the PMLA.
  • The action stems from an FIR registered in February and a chargesheet filed on April 11 that named Yemeni national Al-Khadami Khaled Ibrahim Saleh and others.
  • The Home Ministry had cancelled JIIU’s FCRA registration on July 15, 2024 for allegedly routing foreign contributions to non‑registered NGOs.
  • Officials said investigators are verifying reported foreign inflows to the trust over multiple years, with sources indicating seizure of financial and digital records during the searches.
  • Parallel probes have flagged alleged illegal residency, fraudulent IDs, inflated patient data at an affiliated hospital and possible land encroachment, while political leaders publicly commented on the raids.
