Controversies Surrounding Amanatullah Khan

According to ANI reports, Amanatullah Khan, along with five others, was arrested by Delhi Police on 12 May 2022, for allegedly obstructing government work in Okhla. In March that year, Jamia Nagar Police Station prepared a proposal to declare Amanatullah Khan a "bad character". The proposal was approved by Delhi Police the same month. 

Last month, Khan was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate after nine hours of questioning in a Delhi Waqf Board-linked case of alleged money laundering. 

The ED, which conducted raids on the premises of the legislator, has claimed that Khan acquired proceeds of crime in cash through the illegal recruitment of staff in the Delhi Waqf Board and invested those to purchase immovable assets in the name of his associates.

Khan subsequently got bail, and the AAP has claimed the case is false.
