The Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan on Monday as part of an ongoing money laundering investigation involving him and others linked to him, according to official sources
Khan was detained under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) following a raid at his residence in the Okhla area of Delhi.
The money laundering probe against the 50-year-old legislator is based on two FIRs: one filed by the CBI concerning alleged irregularities in the Wakf Board, and another by the Delhi Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) related to a case of disproportionate assets.
Sources reveal that Khan has dodged at least ten ED summonses since his last questioning in April.
The news of his arrest was first shared by Khan and his party, with the MLA posting on his X (formerly Twitter) account at 6:29 AM that an ED team had arrived at his Okhla residence to arrest him.
AAP MP Sanjay Singh also posted a video about the incident.
Meanwhile, AAP leader Manish Sisodia took to X to allege that the ED’s sole purpose now seems to be silencing any opposition to the BJP and breaking those who refuse to bow down, stating that those who resist are arrested and jailed.
