ED Raids AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan’s Premises in Money Laundering Probe

In a significant development, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted raids at the residences and premises of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Amanatullah Khan in Delhi. These actions are part of a money-laundering investigation involving Khan and several others. Amanatullah Khan, a 49-year-old legislator, represents the Okhla constituency in the Delhi Assembly.

Investigation Under Prevention of Money Laundering Act

The ED’s searches at Khan’s properties are being carried out under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The federal agency initiated this action in response to two separate FIRs—one filed by the Delhi Anti-Corruption Bureau and another by the Central Bureau of Investigation—related to alleged corruption associated with illegal appointments within the Delhi Waqf Board.

Khan’s Role as Delhi Waqf Board Chairman

Amanatullah Khan holds the position of chairman of the Delhi Waqf Board, making him a key figure in the administration of Waqf properties in the city. The investigations and subsequent actions by the ED underscore the seriousness of the allegations against him and the importance of ensuring transparency and legality in appointments and management within public institutions.

The developments in this case are expected to be closely monitored as the investigation unfolds, shedding light on the allegations and potential consequences for those involved.
