ED Remand Of AAP Leader Amanatullah Khan Extended By 3 Days

The Rouse Avenue Court has extended AAP leader Amanatullah Khan’s ED remand by three days. He is an accused in a money laundering case. Khan was produced in court after his initial four-day remand expired. The ED requested a ten-day extension, citing the need to confront Khan with witnesses and documents. The court will next hear the case on September 9.

ED Pushes for Further Interrogation

During the hearing, the ED argued that more questioning is needed. They stated that Khan has avoided answering certain questions and must be confronted with documents again. The court questioned the need for further remand, stating that much interrogation seemed to have already taken place. However, the ED insisted more was needed to reach a “logical conclusion.”

Amanatullah Khan’s Lawyer Refutes Allegations

Khan’s lawyer argued that his client has cooperated and does not understand English well, which complicates the process. He also dismissed claims about a plot in Khan’s name and questioned the need for continued custody. The lawyer expressed frustration over repeated questioning, while the ED maintained that the investigation required it.

Khan faces charges related to alleged irregularities during his tenure as Chairman of the Delhi Waqf Board. These include illegal recruitments and leasing of properties for personal gain. The ED registered a case against Khan and three associates in January.
