Delhi Court To Consider ED’s Supplementary Chargesheet Against AAP Legislator Amanatullah Khan On November 4

A Delhi court has scheduled November 4 for a hearing on the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) supplementary chargesheet against AAP legislator Amanatullah Khan. The chargesheet relates to the Delhi Waqf Board money laundering case. The court also set Khan’s bail hearing for the first week of November.

Judicial Custody Extended

Special judge Vishal Gogne extended Khan’s judicial custody until November 5. He acknowledged the new charges filed by the ED, which named alleged accomplices of the MLA. Khan has been in custody since his arrest on September 2.

The ED submitted a more than 100-page supplementary chargesheet, adding to an earlier chargesheet filed in January. The January chargesheet included names like Daud Nasir, Zeeshan Haider, and Jawed Imam Siddiqui, all arrested by the ED in November 2023.

Investigation into Money Laundering Allegations

The ED is probing allegations of money laundering linked to improper employee appointments and asset leasing of the Delhi Waqf Board during Khan’s tenure as its head. The agency claimed Khan purchased property worth over ₹35 crore in Okhla, using alleged corruption funds to acquire properties in the names of his aides.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has also initiated separate corruption cases against Khan. The case traces back to November 2016, when a complaint accused Khan of illegal appointments within the Board. Following a CBI investigation, evidence revealed Khan’s disregard for rules to favor close associates.
