Ejaz Khan is accused of getting 18 decimal land purchased for Minister Alamgir Alam’s personal secretary Sanjeev Lal and Sanjeev Lal’s servant Jahangir Alam.
ED will ask him how he met Sanjeev Lal and Jahangir, how the money was paid and who else is involved in this deal apart from Sanjeev Lal and Jahangir.
