The Enforcement Directorate is conducting searches at the home of Delhi’s AAP MP Amanatullah Khan as part of a money-laundering inquiry, according to news outlets quoting sources familiar with the situation. In accordance with the Prevention of Money Laundering Act’s (PMLA) provisions, searches are being conducted. Images released by news organisations show a large security presence outside Khan’s Okhla home, where raids are taking place.
Amanatullah Khan serves as both the head of the Delhi Waqf Board and the representative for the Okhla district.
According to PTI, the agency has received notice of two FIRs filed by the Delhi Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Central Bureau of Investigation against the lawmaker about suspected corruption involving unauthorized nominations to the Delhi Waqf Board.
The Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) detained Khan in September of last year in connection with an investigation into allegations of improper hiring practices, money laundering, and misuse of Khan’s official position as chairman of the Delhi Waqf Board. Later, Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court granted him bail.
According to the FIR, Khan illegally recruited 32 people while serving as the chairman of the Delhi Waqf Board, in breach of standards and government guidelines.
After searching AAP MP Sanjay Singh’s Delhi home, a federal investigation agency conducted the raids, leading to the Rajya Sabha member’s arrest.
