The AAP MLA was arrested by the central agency on September 2, hours after the ED arrived at his home in the national capital to probe a money laundering case related to financial irregularities in the Delhi Waqf Board.
The Enforcement Directorate on Tuesday filed a supplementary prosecution complaint (supplementary chargesheet) against Aam Aadmi Party MLA Amanatullah Khan on money laundering charges in a case of alleged irregularities in the Delhi Waqf Board. This case is related to purchase of land in Okhla area for Rs 36 crore. The 110-page supplementary charge sheet also names Maryam Siddiqui, who was not arrested by the ED, as an accused in the case. The court may consider it on November 4.
The AAP MLA was arrested by the central agency on September 2, hours after the ED arrived at his home in the national capital to probe a money laundering case related to financial irregularities in the Delhi Waqf Board. He was brought to the ED office and later produced in a Delhi court. The investigation into alleged irregularities in appointments in the Delhi Waqf Board stems from a 2016 case registered by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
Khan, who was the chairman of the board at that time, is accused of illegally appointing persons to the board, causing financial loss to the Delhi government and allegedly taking personal benefits. The ED then launched a money laundering probe, raiding premises linked to Khan last year and seizing incriminating physical and digital evidence.
