Allahabad High Court granted bail to Azam Khan and his son in the Dual PAN Card case, but the probe agency detained them immediately after their release from jail.
The Allahabad High Court suspended the sentences of Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan and his son, Abdullah Azam Khan, on Thursday. The court granted them bail in the alleged Dual PAN Card case, leading to their release from custody.
However, the legal reprieve was short-lived. As soon as Azam Khan walked out of the jail, the investigating agency moved to detain him again. This development has added a new layer of complexity to the ongoing legal proceedings.
The case involves allegations related to the possession of dual PAN cards. While the high court's order allowed for their temporary freedom, the immediate action by the probe agency suggests that the investigation is far from concluded.
No further details regarding the specific charges for the new detention were immediately available, but the incident highlights the intense scrutiny surrounding the case.
