ED sources claim Khan amassed properties worth Rs 33 crore in Sant Kabir Nagar and deposited about Rs 5 crore in cash from “suspicious entities”. Multiple FIRs have been registered under cheating, forgery, FEMA provisions, and charges including concealment of foreign citizenship and waging war against India.

An ATS report dated March 25, 2025, alleges he travelled frequently to Pakistan for “dawah-related activities” and maintained links with clerics and organisations in Lahore, Karachi, and Rawalpindi. The probe also flags interactions with separatist-leaning individuals in Jammu and Kashmir and attempts to build ideological influence in eastern Uttar Pradesh after 2017.

Post-return, Khan established a girls’ madrassa in Khalilabad and floated two NGOs, which allegedly received foreign donations. Authorities sealed his madrassa campuses this year over financial irregularities, suspecting them to be “operational nodes for foreign fund inflows”. The government suspended four officials from the Minority Welfare Department, calling the case “one of the most extraordinary instances of administrative collusion and systemic breakdown”.
