The Enforcement Directorate on Tuesday raided the premises of AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan in Delhi as part of a money-laundering investigation.
The raid comes after the ED took cognisance of a Delhi Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) FIR and a Central Bureau of Investigation FIR over alleged corruption in appointments to the Delhi Waqf Board, of which Khan is the chairman.
Amanatullah Khan represents the Okhla constituency and is also the Delhi Waqf Board chairman.
The visuals shared by news agencies show heavy security deployment outside Khan’s Okhla residence where the raids are underway.
The raids came days after the federal probe agency raided AAP senior MP Sanjay Singh’s Delhi residence and subsequently arrested the Rajya Sabha member.
Khan was arrested by the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) in September last year in a case connected with alleged irregularities in appointment, misappropriation of funds and misuse of official position as chairman of the Delhi Waqf Board. He was later granted bail by Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court.
