New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate on Tuesday raided the premises of associates of AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan in the national capital as part of a money laundering probe linked to alleged irregularities in the recruitment of staff for the Delhi Waqf Board. Raids are being conducted at more than half a dozen locations. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) search is being conducted under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
The AAP MLA represents Okhla constituency in the Delhi Assembly. The federal agency has taken cognizance of the Delhi Anti-Corruption Bureau FIR and the Central Bureau of Investigation FIR against the MLA related to alleged corruption related to illegal appointments in the Delhi Waqf Board. Khan is the chairman of Delhi Waqf Board. Earlier in October, the agency had raided Khan’s premises. In this case, he had also arrested his three alleged associates in November. The ED alleged that its investigation revealed that Amanatullah Khan had earned “huge” income in cash from the said criminal activities and this cash amount was invested in the purchase of various immovable properties in Delhi in the name of his associates. .
