ED arrests AAP MP Amanatullah Khan in money laundering case – ThePrint –

New Delhi, Sep 2 (PTI) – The Enforcement Directorate on Monday arrested AAP MP Amanatullah Khan in a money laundering probe against him and some people associated with him, official sources said.

He was taken into custody under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) after the agency conducted a search at his residence in the capital's Okhla area.

The money laundering case against the 50-year-old politician stems from two FIRs: one by the CBI in the Wakf Board for alleged irregularities and another by the Delhi ACB for an alleged case of disproportionate asset holding.

Sources said Khan has evaded at least 10 emergency room summonses since he was last questioned about the case in April.

The lawmaker and his party were the first to break the news, with Khan posting on his X-handle at 6.29 am that an emergency team had arrived at his house in Okhla area to arrest him.

AAP MP Sanjay Singh also posted a video.

Speaking to X, AAP leader Manish Sisodia said the only task left for the ED was to “suppress every voice against the BJP and break it”.

Anyone who does not comply will be arrested and sent to prison, he claimed. PTI NES VIT SLB DV DV
