The Hindu
The agency has filed separate cases against them booked under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) will begin the questioning of Samajwadi Party MP Azam Khan, gangster-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari and strongman Ateeq Ahmad from Monday in separate money laundering probes being conducted against them and their associates.
Official sources said the federal agency is initiating the action after obtaining permission from special courts that try cases booked under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
They said the 72-year-old Mr. Khan, lodged in Sitapur district jail of Uttar Pradesh, will be questioned and his statement recorded between September 20 and September 24.
