AAP Leader Amanatullah Khan Sent To 14 days Judicial Custody In Money Laundering Case

Amanatullah Khan, Aam Aadmi Party leader, has been sent to judicial custody for 14 days by the Rouse Avenue Court. This follows the expiry of his remand period under the Enforcement Directorate (ED). The court will hear the case again on September 23.

Charges and Interrogation

The ED informed the court that a chargesheet has already been filed against four people, with plans to include Khan in a supplementary chargesheet. Khan’s lawyer requested his release, stating that Khan is willing to appear daily at the ED office.

Khan had been questioned for seven days in the Waqf Board case. He expressed frustration at being asked the same questions repeatedly. He had previously been questioned for 13 hours on April 18.

The ED confirmed that Khan is being confronted with the same evidence as part of the ongoing investigation. The case involves two FIRs: one from the CBI about Waqf Board irregularities and another from the Delhi ACB about disproportionate assets.

Background of the Case

The ED alleges that Khan was involved in illegal recruitment and personal benefits from leasing Waqf Board properties during his tenure as chairman. The chargesheet, filed in January, includes Khan and his associates—Zeeshan Haider, Dawood Nasir, and Javed Imam Siddiqui.

The court’s decision to place Khan in judicial custody marks a key development in this case.
