Enforcement Directorate seeks arrest warrant against AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan in Delhi court for money laundering case.
The Enforcement Directorate on Wednesday, April 10, 2024, moved a Delhi court seeking arrest warrant against AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan in a money laundering case related to alleged irregularities in appointments in the Delhi Waqf Board.
Special Judge for CBI and ED, Rakesh Syal, posted the matter for April 18 after the ED sought time to file certain documents in support of the application.
"Fresh application for issuance of open ended non-bailable warrant against Amanatullah Khan has been received from the Bail and Filing Section. It be checked and registered as per rules SPP (special public prosecutor) for ED seeks some time to file certain documents in support of the application. Heard. As requested, put up for consideration on April 18, 2024," the judge said.
Khan, the Okhla MLA of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), was not named as an accused in a recent chargesheet filed by the ED.
The ED, however, moved a magisterial court recently seeking prosecution of Khan for allegedly evading agency's summons in the case case.
Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Divya Malhotra has summoned Khan on April 20 in the case.
The federal probe agency also alleged before the ACMM that Khan has elevated his role from witness to accused by filing anticipatory bail plea and running away from the investigation.
