Aam Aadmi Party MLA Amanatullah Khan filed a petition before the Delhi High Court challenging the Enforcement Directorate’s summons to his appearance in a money laundering case. The case pertains to suspected irregularities in the recruitment process of Delhi Waqf Board.
The High Court will hear tomorrow on 1st February. However, the court refused to issue any order at present. The ED investigation pertains to allegations of illegal recruitments during Khan’s tenure as chairman of the Delhi Waqf Board.
The AAP leader’s lawyer raised objections to the constitutional validity of specific provisions of the Money Laundering Act. The ED has alleged that Amanatullah Khan illegally recruited 32 persons during his tenure in violation of laid down rules and government guidelines. The ED has also said that Khan used the “proceeds of crime” from these illegal recruitments to acquire property in the name of associates.
Recently, the ED filed a chargesheet against five people, including three of Khan’s associates – Zeeshan Haider, Dawood Nasir and Javed Imam Siddiqui – who were arrested during raids on the MLA’s premises in November 2023.
