ED Files Charges Against AAP MLA in Delhi Waqf Board Money Laundering Case

The Enforcement Directorate has filed a supplementary charge sheet against AAP MLA Amanat Ullah Khan in the Delhi Waqf Board case involving an alleged Rs 36 crore money laundering scam. The case relates to a plot purchase in Okhla. Khan's bail application is pending, with hearings set for early November.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has intensified its legal pursuit in the Delhi Waqf Board money laundering case, filing a supplementary charge sheet against Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA), Amanat Ullah Khan. Additionally, Mariam Siddiqui has been implicated, albeit without being detained.

The case centers around alleged money laundering involving a plot acquisition valued at Rs 36 crore in Okhla, for which Khan was arrested in early September. The prosecution's case underscores that Khan is the central figure in the alleged misappropriation of funds. The court proceedings are scheduled to progress in November.

Incriminating evidence, including diaries detailing high-value transactions, has been uncovered. The ED contends that vast sums were paid in cash, and fake agreements were crafted to obscure the true value of the property transactions. This recent development may significantly impact Amanat Ullah Khan's legal standing as he faces scrutiny over allegations linked to corrupt activities within the Delhi Waqf Board.
