Fired Adams adviser Ahsan Chughtai was raided by the FBI last summer

Ahsan Chughtai, a special assistant to Mayor Eric Adams who makes $140,000 a year and was fired in September, was visited by agents from the FBI and the city’s Department of Investigation last summer as part of the ongoing corruption investigation at City Hall, sources with the report said familiar matter told DIE STADT.

Chughtai was a liaison between Mayor Adams’ office and the Muslim community and had roots in Pakistan. He did not return a call from the city seeking comment Tuesday.

It’s not clear why Chughtai received a visit from investigators, but Mohamed Bahi, another aide to the mayor who served as a liaison to the Muslim community, was arrested Tuesday and charged with witness tampering and destroying evidence in connection with the federal corruption case against Adams. An FBI spokesman declined to comment.
