Directorate of Enforcement has registered an alleged money laundering case against Islamic preacher Maulana Shamsul Huda Khan, currently living in the United Kingdom, said the agency on Friday (December 26, 2025).

The ED action is based on a First Information Report registered by the Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorism Squad (UP ATS).

As per available records, Shamsul Huda Khan was appointed as an Assistant Teacher in a government-aided madrasa in 1984. He acquired British citizenship in 2013. However, it is alleged that he continued to draw salary from 2013 to 2017, despite neither being an Indian citizen nor actively discharging his duties as a teacher, while residing abroad.

In the past two decades, he reportedly travelled to several foreign countries and is alleged to have received substantial funds amounting to several crores of rupees through seven to eight bank accounts maintained in India. He allegedly acquired more than a dozen immovable properties, with an estimated value exceeding ₹30 crore.

“Shamsul Huda Khan is accused of promoting radical ideology and engaging in illegal funding activities under the guise of religious education.

According to sources, a native of Azamgarh, he allegedly channeled funds to various madrasas through his NGO, Raja Foundation, as well as through his personal bank accounts,” the agency said.

He had set up two madrasas in Azamgarh and Sant Kabir Nagar, the registrations of which were subsequently cancelled by the competent authorities.

His alleged links with radical organizations based in the United Kingdom are under examination.

“As per available information, he had also visited Pakistan, and his alleged contacts with extremist organisations there are being probed. He is believed to be a member of Pakistani radical organisation Dawat E Islami,” it said.

The ED is examining the funding network, foreign linkages, and assets associated with the accused.
