ED searches Amanatullah Khan’s home in connection with a money-laundering investigation

The Enforcement Directorate is conducting searches at the residence of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Amanatullah Khan to see whether there is any connection to a money laundering case. The Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) laws are being used to guide the searches.

The Delhi Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) each filed a FIR before the ED took action.

The charges are associated with allegations of corruption involving unauthorized nominations to the Delhi Waqf Board, whose head is Khan.

On the basis of the discovery of allegedly damning documents and other evidence, Khan was detained by the Anti-Corruption Bureau in September of last year in connection with the Delhi Waqf Board corruption investigation. He was subsequently given bail, however.

An official statement claims that Khan unlawfully hired 32 people while serving as the head of the Delhi Waqf Board, disobeying all rules and regulations. Additionally, he is accused of engaging in favoritism and corruption.

AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan’s home was raided shortly after fellow AAP leader Sanjay Singh was taken into custody in connection with the Delhi excise policy “scam.”

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) detained the AAP Rajya Sabha MP at his house in the capital.

After the former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, he was the second major AAP politician to be detained in the liquor policy issue.

Another AAP politician and former Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain had been detained earlier as part of a different investigation.
