Overview
- An FIR was registered on November 2 at Kotwali Khalilabad by the District Minority Welfare Officer based on the Uttar Pradesh ATS report.
- The Sant Kabir Nagar administration sealed the madrasa linked to Maulana Shamsul Huda Khan, which officials said was being run again under the same name by his son after an earlier shutdown.
- ATS findings state Khan moved to the UK around 2007, acquired British citizenship on December 19, 2013, received annual pay increments through 2007–2017, and was granted voluntary retirement with full pension on August 1, 2017.
- Authorities say the probe is examining ATS allegations that Khan travelled abroad under religious pretexts, visited Pakistan, maintained contacts with suspected individuals in Jammu and Kashmir, and routed foreign funds to Indian madrasas for commissions.
- Police noted two prior cases against Khan have already reached chargesheet stage, and officials indicated possible departmental action over irregular approvals, with the new case booked under FEMA and relevant BNS sections.
