The Enforcement Directorate on Monday produced AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan before a Delhi court in a money laundering case.
The ED produced Khan before Special Judge Rakesh Syal, where it is likely to seek his custody in the case.
He 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 earlier today.
This comes as a setback for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), after its MLA Amanatullah Khan was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) today in connection with a probe linked to money laundering charges.
ED arrived at his house in Okhla to conduct raids. Subsequently, Khan and AAP leaders took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to allege that the agency had come to arrest the AAP MLA.
The case pertains to the ED’s probe into financial irregularities committed in the Waqf Board.
In January this year, the agency filed a charge sheet over alleged irregularities in recruitment in the Delhi Waqf Board under the chairmanship of Khan. The investigation also seeks to probe alleged irregularities in the leasing of assets of the board.
