Amanatullah Khan’s Judicial Custody Extended In Money Laundering Case

Aam Aadmi Party leader Amanatullah Khan appeared in Rouse Avenue Court on Friday following the expiration of his judicial custody. The court has extended his custody until October 21.

During the previous hearing, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) informed the court that it had filed a chargesheet against four individuals involved in the case, indicating that a supplementary chargesheet will also be filed against Khan.

Khan’s lawyer requested his release under any condition, stating that Khan is willing to report to the ED office daily. Khan expressed frustration over the ED’s repeated questioning, noting that he had already appeared for questioning on April 18, during which he was interrogated for 13 hours.

He stated that he is now facing the same questions again.

In response, the court inquired whether the ED was confronting Khan with the same evidence. The ED confirmed that while some aspects of the interrogation involve repeated questioning, it is essential for the ongoing investigation.

The money laundering case against Khan pertains to two FIRs. The first relates to irregularities in the Waqf Board, investigated by the CBI, while the second involves allegations of possessing assets disproportionate to income, investigated by the Delhi Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB).

The ED alleges that illegal recruitment occurred within the Waqf Board, and that personal benefits were gained by leasing properties unlawfully during Khan’s tenure as chairman.

In January, the agency filed a chargesheet in this case, naming Khan and three associates—Zeeshan Haider, Dawood Nasir, and Javed Imam Siddiqui.
