Court Issues Notice To ED On AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan’s Arrest

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) must respond to a petition challenging the arrest of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Amanatullah Khan in a money laundering case. Justice Neena Bansal Krishna is overseeing the proceedings and has directed the ED to file a status report within two weeks. The court will hear the case next on October 18.

Khan was arrested on September 2 after the ED conducted a raid at his residence in Okhla. He faces charges related to irregularities during his tenure as chairman of the Delhi Waqf Board and remains in judicial custody until September 23.

Legal Arguments in Court

During the proceedings, the ED’s lawyer raised objections regarding the maintainability of the petition. He claimed that Khan concealed facts, specifically that he had not been granted bail by another bench. In contrast, Khan’s lawyer argued that the arrest was illegal and unconstitutional, seeking cancellation of both the arrest and custody orders. The ongoing money laundering case stems from an FIR filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and three complaints from Delhi Police.
