+In a significant development, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Amanatullah Khan was detained by Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials on Monday following a raid at his residence. The raid, which took place in the morning, is part of an ongoing investigation that has intensified political tensions within the party.
The ED’s visit, which resulted in Khan’s detention, has sparked a wave of political reactions, with AAP leaders alleging that the move is politically motivated. The specifics of the investigation remain unclear, but the action against Khan has fueled controversy.
Prior to the raid, Khan had announced that ED officials had arrived at his Okhla residence in Delhi with the intention of arresting him. In a video statement released on X, Khan expressed his frustration, stating, “It’s seven in the morning, and the ED has arrived to arrest me under the guise of a search warrant. My mother-in-law, who is battling cancer, is currently at my home. I have responded to all their notices and have written to them as well. They have been harassing me continuously for the past two years with the sole aim of breaking our party. But we will neither bow down nor break.”
Khan also alleged in his video statement that the ED’s actions were merely an excuse for his arrest, saying, “The ED team is using a search as an excuse to arrest me. My mother-in-law, who recently underwent surgery four days ago for cancer, is at my home. I had notified the ED about this situation.”
Khan is currently under scrutiny in a money laundering case related to financial irregularities involving the Delhi Waqf Board.
