ED arrests AAP leader Amanatullah Khan after 9 hours of interrogation

New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate on Thursday arrested Aam Aadmi Party MLA Amanatullah Khan in a money laundering case related to 'illegal recruitment' in Delhi Waqf Board. Meanwhile, after the arrest of Atishi and Sanjay Singh Khan, AAP leaders are going to their homes. Amanatullah Khan appeared before the federal agency during the day for questioning in a money laundering case. This happened when the Supreme Court on Monday refused to consider his anticipatory bail plea.

The Supreme Court bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Dutta asked Amanatullah Khan to appear before the anti-corruption agency on April 18 at 11 am. Before entering the ED office, Amanatullah Khan, while talking to journalists, claimed that when he was the Chairman of the Waqf Board, he had followed the rules. He said he has taken legal opinion and done everything as per the new Act that came into force (for the board). The money laundering case against Amanatullah Khan pertains to an FIR by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and three complaints by the Delhi Police.
