ED Files Prosecution Complaint Against Md. Sadeeque in Bikaner Money Laundering Case

JAIPUR, Feb 2, 2026 — The Directorate of Enforcement (ED), Jaipur Zonal Office, has officially filed a Prosecution Complaint (PC) against Md. Sadeeque, the Alfurkan Educational Trust (AET), and several other entities under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002.

This legal action, filed on January 30, 2026, before the Special PMLA Court in Jaipur, follows the arrest of Md. Sadeeque, whose bail application was recently dismissed by the court on January 28. The ED’s investigation, which stems from FIRs registered by the Rajasthan Police, alleges Sadeeque’s involvement in a complex web of radicalization, illegal arms trafficking, and hawala dealings.The probe revealed that Sadeeque utilized the Alfurkan Educational Trust—which manages the Masjid-e-Ayesha in Bikaner—as a front for clandestine financial operations.

Investigators found that he systematically misappropriated public donations intended for charitable causes, diverting funds toward personal expenses and radical NGOs both in India and abroad. Furthermore, the ED established that Sadeeque was deeply involved in the procurement and supply of illegal firearms and used inflammatory speeches to incite violence and mobilize funds.

The investigation also highlighted significant financial irregularities, including the illegal routing of approximately Rs. 64 lakh in foreign contributions in violation of FCRA provisions. The ED maintains that this crackdown is a decisive move against an ecosystem of illicit financing masquerading as religious work, with further investigations currently underway.
