‘ED team has reached my house to arrest me,’ claims AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan | India News
Taking to X, the AAP leader said, ” It is currently 7 am and the ED officials have come to arrest me in my house.My mother-in-law has cancer and had surgery just four days ago; she is also at my house. I have written to them and responded to every notice they sent. Their intention is to arrest me and hinder our work.”
“For the past two years, they have been continuously harassing me with false cases, creating some trouble or the other every day. It’s not just me; my entire party is being targeted. The Chief Minister was in jail, Sanjay Singh was in jail, and Satendra Jain is still in jail. Now they want to arrest me too. Their sole aim is to break us and our party. I request you all to pray for me,” he added.
“This case is entirely fake, and it is also being investigated by the CBI and now the ED. This case has been ongoing since 2016, and the CBI itself has stated that there was no corruption or transaction involved. Despite this, they have filed a false case against me, among many others. This is one of those cases, and they have come to arrest me for it, ” he further said.
The money laundering case against Khan stems from a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) FIR and three Delhi Police complaints.
The Enforcement Directorate had alleged in a statement that “illegal recruitment” of staff took place in the Waqf Board and “illegal personal gains” were made by unfairly leasing the Waqf Board properties during Khan’s chairmanship from 2018 to 2022.
