New Delhi:
In relation to purported irregularities in appointments to the Delhi Waqf Board and leasing of its properties, which are estimated to be worth ₹ 100 crore, Amanatullah Khan, the MLA for the Aam Aadmi Party, was taken into custody by the Enforcement Directorate on Monday.
Following dramatic scenes from the federal agency’s raid on his Delhi apartment this morning, the AAP politician was arrested. He said in a video statement on X that the ED was acting insensitively and that the raids had affected his mother-in-law, a cancer patient who underwent surgery last week.
“Under the guise of a search, the ED has arrived to arrest me. Four days ago, my mother-in-law, a cancer patient, underwent surgery. She is in my house. I let the ED know about this.”
ED Attacks Khan’s Residence
Images taken this morning showed an elderly woman resting on a bed while Mr. Khan asked for four weeks’ notice while speaking with a man who appeared to be an ED officer. “Why do you believe we are here to arrest you?” the man asks in response, to which Mr. Khan fires back, “Why else are you here?”
“ED has arrived at my house to arrest me…Just now, early in the morning, at the behest of the dictator, his puppet ED has reached my house; the dictator is leaving no stone unturned in harassing me and AAP leaders. I am ready to go to jail and I believe that the court will give me justice,” he said in Hindi.
Khan evaded at least ten ED summons since he was last questioned in the case in April, reported PTI.
Earlier, Khan had sought to set aside the city court’s July 31 order, which upheld the magistrate court’s April 9 order issuing summons to him in a complaint filed by the ED, alleging non-compliance of the summons by the agency in connection with the money laundering case.
On April 4, the ED filed a complaint against Khan under the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) sections 190, read with Indian Penal Code (IPC) section 174 and Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) section 63(4) for not complying with summons issued to him under PMLA section 50, which grants the agency the power to issue summons
