ED arrests AAP lawmaker Amanatullah Khan over alleged money laundering
Hindustan TimesThe Enforcement Directorate on Monday arrested Aam Aadmi Party lawmaker Amanatullah Khan over alleged money laundering linked to irregularities in the Delhi Waqf Board and disproportionate assets, people familiar with the matter said. “We have arrested Khan in a money laundering case, which stems from two first information reports by the Central Bureau of Investigation related to alleged irregularities in the Delhi Waqf Board and another by Delhi Anti-Corruption Branch related to an alleged case of amassing disproportionate assets,” said an officer, who did not want to be named. It alleged Khan acquired proceeds of crime in cash through the illegal recruitment of staff in the Delhi Waqf Board and invested those to purchase immovable assets in the name of his associates. “He purchased immovable properties in the name of his benamidar – Zeeshan Haider and Daud Nasir - by concealing and suppressing their actual value which is very nominal in comparison to their actual sale value and actively concealed amounts that were paid in cash to seller which are nothing but proceeds of crime acquired by Amanatullah Khan out of his corrupt and illegal activities,” the charge sheet said.
