New Delhi: AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan presented himself to the Enforcement Directorate on Thursday for an inquiry tied to a money laundering investigation, according to officials.
The appearance of the 50-year-old representative from the Okhla assembly area follows the Supreme Court’s decision last week to dismiss his anticipatory bail plea in a matter involving alleged discrepancies during his tenure as chairman of the Delhi Waqf Board. The court instructed him to partake in the inquiry on April 18.
Speaking to the media earlier today, Khan declared his innocence and denied any wrongdoing. The allegations against Khan arise from a Central Bureau of Investigation FIR and three complaints lodged with the Delhi Police.
The Enforcement Directorate, having executed searches at Khan’s premises, asserted that Khan amassed “substantial illicit gains” in the form of cash through the unauthorized hiring of personnel at the Delhi Waqf Board and then used those funds to acquire fixed assets under the names of his associates.
