The Enforcement Directorate has seized assets of Mohammad Ali Jauhar University in Rampur as part of a money‑laundering investigation.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has officially attached the assets of Mohammad Ali Jauhar University, located in Rampur, Uttar Pradesh. The move comes after a preliminary enquiry suggested possible violations of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The ED statement indicated that the attachment is a precautionary measure to prevent the disposal of properties that may be linked to alleged illicit financial activities.
The university, established in 2006, has been a prominent institution in the region offering courses in arts, science, and professional studies. Officials did not disclose the exact nature or value of the assets seized, but the attachment covers both movable and immovable properties owned by the university.
The action underscores the ED's ongoing focus on educational institutions suspected of financial irregularities. Authorities have not provided a timeline for further investigation or any potential recovery of funds, and the university has been asked to cooperate with the agency.
No comment has been received from the university's administration as of the time of reporting.
