Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Amanatullah Khan has been arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) following a raid at his residence in Delhi. The arrest is linked to an ongoing money laundering investigation involving alleged irregularities in the Delhi Waqf Board, amounting to around 100 crore rupees. Khan, who was detained after six hours of questioning, claims the ED's actions are politically motivated. The ED has sought a 10-day custody for further interrogation under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. The investigation pertains to financial irregularities and disproportionate assets linked to the Waqf Board. Khan had previously approached the Supreme Court seeking relief from ED summons, which was denied.
