AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan Remanded to Four-Day ED Custody in Money Laundering Case

A Delhi court has remanded AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan to a four-day ED custody in connection with a money laundering case. The court observed material evidence under PMLA. The ED cited Khan's need for further interrogation and confrontation with other accused. Khan’s arrest follows investigations into financial irregularities by the Delhi Wakf Board.

A Delhi court on Monday night placed AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan under a four-day ED custody in a money laundering case, observing the material on record indicated an offence under the PMLA.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) presented Khan before Special Judge Rakesh Syal soon after his arrest. They requested a 10-day custody, arguing that Khan needed to be confronted with other accused and evidence.

''Four-day ED custody, to be produced on September 6,'' Judge Syal stated. The court dismissed Khan's claim of illegal arrest and ordered his interrogation under CCTV. The material evidence suggested criminal conspiracy cases involving financial irregularities, benami transactions, and bribes often shrouded in secrecy. Khan was implicated in financial misconduct relating to the Delhi Wakf Board.
