The Rouse Avenue Court has issued a notice to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to respond to the bail plea of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Amanatullah Khan. Khan is an accused in a money laundering case related to the Delhi Waqf Board. Special Judge Rakesh Sayal is presiding over the case. The ED arrested Khan on September 2 following a search at his residence in Okhla. The agency cited his evasive responses during questioning as the reason for his arrest.
Illegal Recruitment and Leasing Allegations
The money laundering charges against Khan stem from a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) FIR and three complaints filed by Delhi Police. The ED’s charge sheet names five accused, including Khan’s associates Zeeshan Haider, Dawood Naseer, and Javed Imam Siddiqui. The case involves allegations of illegal recruitment and unlawful leasing of Delhi Waqf Board properties between 2018 and 2022. Khan, as chairman of the Waqf Board, allegedly benefited from these actions.
