New Delhi, Dec. 4 -- The Enforcement Directorate on Thursday said it has arrested Mohammed Sadeeque alias Sadik Khan, founder and former President of the Rajasthan's Bikaner-based Alfurkan Educational Trust (AET) for his involvement in the offence of money laundering arising out of systematic diversion of public donations, extensive cash-based criminal activities, suspicious foreign associations, and conduct indicative of radicalisation and involvement in unlawful networks.

The arrest of Sadeeque, the agency stated, marks a significant step in dismantling a network of shadow financial operations, suspected radical influences and unlawful activities operating under the guise of charitable and religious work.
