AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan has been arrested by the Enforcement Directorate for allegedly dealing with ill-gotten money and making tainted cash transactions to purchase property in Delhi.

The federal agency apprehended the 50-year-old legislator from Okhla after a search at his residence. A local court has remanded Khan to four-day ED custody.

Khan is accused of non-cooperation and avoiding investigation, having responded to only one of 14 summonses. The charges against him stem from two FIRs by the Delhi ACB and the CBI for irregularities as the Delhi Waqf Board chairman from 2016-2021. His party claims he is being framed in a false case.
