The Rouse Avenue Court will announce its decision on November 6 regarding the cognizance of the chargesheet filed against the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the money laundering case related to the Delhi Waqf Board. Special Judge Jitendra Singh reserved his decision, stating that the prosecution’s complaint, presented by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), is detailed. He needs more time to review it thoroughly.
Chargesheet Details
The ED submitted the first supplementary chargesheet of 110 pages on October 29. It alleges that accused Khan earned money through corruption linked to the Delhi Waqf Board, falling under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). Maryam Siddiqui is also named as an accused in the chargesheet, but the ED has not yet arrested her.
Upcoming Bail Hearing
Khan’s bail plea will be heard on November 7. The ED arrested him on September 2 after conducting searches at his residence in Delhi’s Okhla area. They claim he provided evasive answers during interrogation. The money laundering investigation against Khan stems from two FIRs: one filed by the CBI regarding alleged irregularities in the Waqf Board and another by the Delhi Police’s Anti-Corruption Unit concerning alleged disproportionate assets. The ED asserts it has enough evidence to prosecute Khan and others involved in this case.
