## AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan Appears Before ED in Money Laundering Case
AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday for questioning in connection with a money laundering case. This development comes after the Supreme Court last week refused to entertain his anticipatory bail application in the case related to alleged irregularities in the Delhi Waqf Board during his chairmanship.
The apex court had directed him to join the investigation on April 18. Speaking to reporters earlier in the day, Khan maintained his innocence, stating that he had not committed any wrongdoing.
The money laundering case against Khan stems from a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) FIR and three Delhi Police complaints. The ED, which had conducted raids on the legislator's premises, has claimed that Khan acquired "huge proceeds of crime" in cash through illegal recruitment of staff in the Delhi Waqf Board. These funds were allegedly invested in the purchase of immovable assets in the name of his associates.
Khan's appearance before the ED marks a significant development in the ongoing investigation. The agency is expected to question him about the alleged financial irregularities and gather further evidence to support its claims. The outcome of this questioning could have significant implications for Khan, both legally and politically.
