ED Arrests AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan in Money Laundering Case

The AAP has criticized the ED's arrest of their MLA Amanatullah Khan, calling it a 'false' case. MP Sanjay Singh claims there is no evidence against Khan, who is alleged to be involved in money laundering tied to Wakf Board irregularities and disproportionate assets.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Monday denounced the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for arresting its MLA, Amanatullah Khan, in what the party claims is a 'false' case. Senior AAP leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh asserted that Khan was taken into custody without any evidence.

The ED arrested Khan, the legislator from Delhi's Okhla constituency, under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The arrest came after the agency conducted a search at Khan's residence. Official sources confirmed that the case against Khan is linked to alleged Wakf Board irregularities and disproportionate asset possession.

'Revolutionaries will not bow down to the tyranny of a dictator,' the AAP stated in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, condemning the arrest as politically motivated. Singh added that this 'bullying' by the BJP would ultimately cost them in the upcoming Delhi assembly elections.
