New Delhi, September 2: Delhi AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan claimed on Monday that a team from the Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrived at his house to arrest him.
Sources reported that the ED team reached Amanatullah’s residence in Okhla as part of an investigation into a money laundering case. They added that teams from the Delhi Police and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) are stationed at the AAP MLA’s residence.
“ED people have just arrived at my house to arrest me,” Amanatullah Khan 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.
In a video posted on the social media site X, Amanatullah Khan said, “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

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.
