AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan Granted Bail in Delhi Waqf Board Case

AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan was granted bail in a money laundering case related to the Delhi Waqf Board. The court released him after accepting a bail bond and found that while there was evidence to proceed, the prosecution lacked the requisite sanction. No charges were pursued against Mariam Siddiqui.

A court in Delhi has ordered the release of AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan, who was involved in a money laundering case linked to the Delhi Waqf Board.

The decision came after Special Judge Jitendra Singh accepted Khan's bail bond of Rs 1 lakh and a similar surety. Judge Singh earlier had refused to recognize the chargesheet against Khan, citing a lack of sanction for prosecution.

The Enforcement Directorate's 110-page supplementary prosecution complaint accused Khan of laundering money through alleged corruption in the Delhi Waqf Board, while Mariam Siddiqui was discharged due to insufficient evidence.
