Amanatullah Khan was arrested by the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) in September last year .

New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Amanatullah Khan on Monday morning claimed that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has arrived at his house to arrest him. Speaking to ANI, the AAP MLA said, “It is 7 AM right now. ED has come to my residence to arrest me in the name of a search warrant. My mother-in-law has been diagnosed with cancer. She had an operation four days ago. She is also at my house. I have written to them (ED) and I have replied to every notice. ”

“Their only motive is to arrest me and stop our (AAP) work. For the last two years, these people have been harassing me, and filing fake cases against me. Every day, they are creating some or the other problem for not only me but my entire party…”

“We are neither going to bow down to them nor are we going to be afraid of them, they will send us to jail. I am hopeful that the way we got justice in the court earlier, this time too we will get justice…,” he goes on to add

अभी सुबह-सुबह तानाशाह के इशारे पर उनकी कटपुतली ED मेरे घर पर पहुँच चुकी है, मुझे और AAP नेताओं को परेशान करने में तानाशाह कोई कसर नहीं छोड़ रहा।

ईमानदारी से अवाम की ख़िदमत करना गुनाह है?

The case is linked to money laundering charges against Khan. Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has filed an FIR and there are three Delhi Police complaints. The agency has named five people in its prosecution complaint (the ED’s equivalent of a charge sheet) that included three alleged associates of Khan — Zeeshan Haider, Daud Nasir and Jawed Imam Siddiqui.

AAP Terms Enforcement Directorate’s Actions As Political Vendetta

Aam Aadmi Party launched a scathing attack against the Central agency after its action. AAP MP Sanjay Singh took to X and alleged that Khan was being targeted due to the BJP’s political vendetta.
