Delhi, 9 January: On Tuesday, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) filed a charge sheet in a money laundering probe related to alleged irregularities in the recruitment of staff and leasing of assets at the Delhi Waqf Board during the tenure of AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan as the chairman.
According to official sources, the charge sheet names five entities, including three alleged associates of Khan who were arrested by the central agency in November 2023. However, Khan himself has not been named as an accused.
The ED had conducted raids against Khan and others in October last year and claimed that he had acquired large sums of money through illegal activities.
The agency also alleged that this money was used to purchase immovable assets in the name of his associates. The ED’s money laundering case is based on a CBI FIR and three complaints filed by the Delhi Police.
As per the ED, incriminating evidence was found during the raids, indicating Khan’s involvement in the offence.
However, Delhi Chief Minister and AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal has accused authorities of targeting his party with false cases.
