Lucknow,

25 Dec (HS): The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has started investigation by

registering a case under the Money Laundering Act against Madrasa teacher

Shamsul Huda, who lives in Britain. After the investigation by ATS, an FIR was

lodged against him in Sant Kabir Nagar, in which several allegations were made

including that Shamsul Huda, who has been living abroad for many years, has

been taking salary of Madrasa teacher from the Minority Department.

It

should be noted that Shamsul Huda Khan, who holds British citizenship,

frequently travels abroad and preaches Islam. The ATS investigated his travels

to various areas of Pakistan, his contacts with local people, and his

connections with suspected individuals from Jammu and Kashmir through his close

associates in India, and other suspicious activities.

The

investigation revealed that Shamshul was appointed as an assistant teacher

(Aaliya) at Madrasa Darul Uloom Ahle Sunnat Madrasa Ashrafia Mubarakpur,

Azamgarh, on July 12, 1984. He had been living in the UK since 2007. He

revelation, an FIR was lodged at the Khalilabad police station and his madrasa

was sealed. Two other FIRs have also been filed against him in Sant Kabir Nagar
