The Enforcement Directorate on Monday arrested Aam Aadmi Party MLA Amanatullah Khan in connection with a money laundering case.
This came hours after the Aam Aadmi Party leader, who represents the Okhla Assembly constituency in New Delhi, said in a social media post that officials from the central agency had arrived at his home to arrest him.
Khan has been booked in two cases, according to The Indian Express. One of the first information reports against him is in connection with the alleged irregularities in appointments and misappropriation of funds in the Delhi Waqf Board during Khan’s chairmanship between 2018 and 2022. The second FOR is related to an alleged disproportionate assets case.
In a video on X ahead of his arrest on Monday, Khan said that his mother-in-law, who was with him at his home, was a cancer patient and was operated on four days ago.
“I had informed the ED [Enforcement Directorate] about this,” he said. “They have been harassing me for two years and slapping false cases. They are harassing our party [Aam Aadmi Party]. Their objective is to break our party.”
अभी सुबह-सुबह तानाशाह के इशारे पर उनकी कटपुतली ED मेरे घर पर पहुँच चुकी है, मुझे और AAP नेताओं को परेशान करने में तानाशाह कोई कसर नहीं छोड़ रहा।
ईमानदारी से अवाम...
