New Delhi, September 2: Following six hours of interrogation in relation to a money laundering investigation connected to the Delhi Waqf Board case, the Enforcement Directorate on Monday arrested Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Amanatullah Khan.
Sources reported that the ED team reached Amanatullah’s residence in Okhla early this morning as part of an investigation into a money laundering case. Teams from the Delhi Police and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) were also stationed at the AAP MLA’s residence.
“ED people have just arrived at my house to arrest me,” Amanatullah Khan had earlier posted on X.

Khan is under investigation for allegations of illegal appointments and financial misconduct during his time as the head of the Delhi Waqf Board.
Earlier, Amanatullah Khan posted a video on the social media site X, saying, “Just this morning, on the orders of the dictator, his puppet ED has reached my house. The dictator is leaving no stone unturned to harass me and AAP leaders. Is it a crime to serve the people honestly? How long will this dictatorship last?”
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?
आख़िर ये तानाशाही कब तक?#EDRaid #Okhla pic.twitter.com/iR2YN7Z9NL

Several AAP leaders, including Manish Sisodia and Sanjay Singh, slammed the BJP-led government at the centre, accusing it of targeting those who speak out against the ruling party. In the video posted on X, Amanatullah also mentioned that he has been responding to all the notices sent by the agency, but despite this, a team arrived at his house with a search warrant to arrest him.
