Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Amanatullah Khan said on social media on Monday morning that the ED (Enforcement Directorate) team has reached his house to arrest him.
He ws questioned at home in the money laundering case related to Delhi Waqf Board. Paramilitary force personnel are also with the ED team.
Amanatullah shared a video and said- ED's aim is only to arrest me in the name of search warrant . I have responded to every notice. These people have been harassing me for 2 years.
This case going on since 2016 is completely fake. CBI itself has said that there has been no corruption or transaction of any kind. Their aim is to break us and our party. If they send us to jail, we are ready. I have faith in the court.
Later in the day AAP informed that =ED had taken Khan in custody.
Accused of llegally recruiting 32 people and misusing funds
AAP MLA is under the scanner of ED in the money laundering case related to Delhi Waqf Board. The AAP MLA is accused of illegally recruiting 32 people and misusing the funds while being the chairman of the Delhi Waqf Board. The then CEO of the Delhi Waqf Board had given a statement regarding such illegal recruitment.
Along with this, he has illegally rented out many properties of the Delhi Waqf Board. It is also alleged that he has misused the funds of the Delhi Waqf Board. The then CEO of the Delhi Waqf Board had issued a statement against such illegal recruitment.
On April 18 this year, the investigating agency interrogated Amanatullah for 13 hours. After leaving the ED office, he had said that I had come on the instructions of the Supreme Court. The investigating agency interrogated and recorded my statement.
Earlier, the investigating agency had conducted a search operation at five places in Delhi on October 10, 2023. ED had also raided Amanatullah Khan's house. ED took this action under two FIRs filed by Delhi Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB). This FIR was related to irregularities in jobs in Delhi Waqf Board.
AAP leaders slam ED action
Former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister and AAP leader Manish Sisodia retweeted his post.
Manish Sisodia wrote on X, "This is the only work left for ED. Suppress every voice raised against BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party). Break it. Those who do not break, do not get suppressed, arrest them and put them in jail."
Aam Aadmi Party leader Sanjay Singh has also reacted. He shared a video of Amanatullah Khan's house on X.
In his post, Sanjay Singh wrote, "Look at the cruelty of ED. Amanatullah Khan first joined the ED investigation, they also asked him for time for further investigation. His mother-in-law has cancer. She has undergone an operation. They reached the house early in the morning to raid it."
Sanjay Singh wrote, "There is no evidence against Amanatullah Khan but Modi's dictatorship and ED's hooliganism both continue."
