Court Extends AAP Leader Amanatullah Khan’s Judicial Custody Till October 7 In Money Laundering Case

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Amanatullah Khan’s judicial custody was extended till October 7 by Rouse Avenue Court after the expiry of his previous custody period. Khan, accused in a money laundering case, appeared before the court on Monday. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) informed the court that a supplementary chargesheet would be filed against Khan.

Khan’s lawyer argued for his release, stating that he was willing to appear at the ED office daily and complained about being repeatedly asked the same questions during questioning.

ED Defends Interrogation Process

During the hearing, the court inquired if the ED was indeed confronting Khan with the same evidence repeatedly. ED responded by explaining that repeated confrontations are necessary for the ongoing investigation and the interrogation is crucial.

Khan had previously told the court that he had already faced a 13-hour interrogation session on April 18, and felt the repeated questioning was unnecessary.

Case Tied to Waqf Board Irregularities

The money laundering case is linked to two FIRs. One involves alleged irregularities in the Waqf Board, investigated by the CBI, while the second concerns assets disproportionate to income, investigated by the Delhi ACB.

The ED alleges that Khan illegally recruited employees and gained personal benefits by unlawfully leasing Waqf Board properties during his tenure as chairman. A charge sheet was filed in January against Khan and three associates: Zeeshan Haider, Dawood Nasir, and Javed Imam Siddiqui.
