Another big name from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Amanatullah Khan has been arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
Previously four other big names, Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, Sanjay Singh, and Satyendra Jain were arrested by ED or CBI under Delhi’s excise policy case.
The federal agency raided Amanatulla’s house in Okhla on Monday with a search warrant and took his custody. Later that day, the Rouse Avenue court sent him to ED custody for four days and the next hearing is scheduled for September 6.
A person from ED who doesn’t want to reveal his name told Hindustan Times that they arrested Amanatullah Khan for a money laundering case and the case related to the Delhi Waqf Board. They said that Amanatullah has more assets than his all sources of income.
Amantullah Khan posted on Twitter/X that federal agencies have been harassing him for the last two years and when ED raided his house, his mother-in-law was also there who is suffering from cancer.
