The raid was conducted under provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). Earlier today, Aam Aadmi Party workers held a demonstration outside the BJP office in Delhi in protest of the ED and CBI’s actions against party leaders, including Sanjay Singh and Amanatullah Khan.
Amanatullah Khan is the Okhla constituency’s representative and the head of the Delhi Waqf Board.
According to PTI, the agency has taken cognizance of a Delhi Anti-Corruption Bureau FIR and a Central Bureau of Investigation FIR filed against the politician in connection with suspected corruption tied to unlawful appointments in the Delhi Waqf Board.
Khan was detained in September last year by the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) in connection with suspected irregularities in appointment, embezzlement of money, and misuse of official position as head of the Delhi Waqf Board. The Rouse Avenue Court in Delhi later granted him bail.
