Amanatullah Khan Granted Bail By Delhi Court

As mentioned earlier, AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan, who was arrested in the Waqf Board Money Laundering Case by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), has now been granted bail by the Rouse Avenue Court in Delhi. The court granted him bail on a personal bond of Rs 15,000 and one surety of like amount.

Enforcement Directorate Filed Complaint Against AAP MLA

ED recently had moved a complaint against him for not appearing before the agency and not joining the probe in the case related to the alleged irregularities in appointment in Delhi Waqf Board and leasing of its properties. Only recently, a week ago, Amanatullah Khan was questioned by the probe agency for long hours.

Amanatullah Khan Questioned By ED

As said before, Amanatullah Khan was questioned by ED for long hours last week. The AAP MLA, who reached the ED Office around 11:00 am on Thursday, was questioned by the ED for more than 12 hours. The agency questioned and recorded his statement in connection with a money laundering case linked to alleged irregularities in the Delhi Waqf Board during his chairmanship.

“I was called (by ED) for questioning; the Supreme Court had directed me to appear, so I had come at 11:00 am. I was questioned and my statement was recorded, and now I am leaving,” Amanatullah Khan said while speaking to ANI after the questioning by ED. The AAP MLA also claimed that central agencies have been pushing “him to resign and turn against Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.”
