AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan Arrested By ED In Money Laundering Case

AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan has been arrested by the ED for money laundering related to the Waqf Board corruption case

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has arrested Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Amanatullah Khan on Monday in connection with a money laundering case. The AAP leader was taken into custody under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) after the agency conducted a search at his residence in the Okhla area of the national capital.

The money laundering case against Khan stems from two FIRs, one by the CBI in connection with alleged irregularities in Wakf Board and another by the Delhi ACB related to an alleged case of possession of disproportionate assets.

ED Officials raided the 50-year-old legislator's residence early this morning as part of their investigation into alleged money laundering involving irregularities in Delhi Waqf Board appointments and property leasing. The ED team reached his house accompanied by Delhi Police and CRPF personnel.

Amanatullah Khan was arrested in April by ED in the case and later got bail from the Delhi Rouse Avenue court which granted him bail on a personal bond of Rs 15,000 and one surety of like amount. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) had filed a complaint against him for failing to appear before the agency and participate in the investigation related to alleged irregularities in appointments at the Delhi Waqf Board. According to complaints, Khan allegedly got a large amount of cash through illegal staff recruitment at the Delhi Waqf Board and used the money to buy properties in the names of his associates.

Earlier today, in a self-made video, the AAP legislator alleged that ED had been continuously harassing him for the past two years.

"It is seven in the morning, and the ED has come to arrest me in the name of a search warrant. My mother-in-law has cancer, and she is currently at my home. I have written to them, and I have also replied to each of their notices. These people have been harassing me continuously for the last two years. Their only aim is to break our party. We are not going to bow down, and we are not going to break," he said.
