In the Waqf Board case, ED detains Amanatullah
Amanatullah Khan, a member of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), was detained by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday in relation to a suspected money laundering case involving the Delhi Waqf Board.
After many hours of questioning that started in the morning when Khan arrived at ED’s office, he was taken into custody by the agency.
Khan was required to appear before the agency after the Supreme Court’s April 15 rejection of his appeal for anticipatory relief. The Supreme Court ordered Khan to participate in the investigation on April 18, according to reports. The AAP MLA was the target of a previous ED application to the PMLA court in Delhi, where the ED claimed that Khan, who had been a witness in the case, had changed his name to an accused and was attempting to avoid prosecution.
In the case, the accused Zeeshan Haider, his partnership company Skypower, Javed Imam Siddiqui, Dawood Nasir, and Qausar Imam Siddiqui were named in the chargesheet submitted by the ED.
