The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted searches in 13 locations in Delhi related to AAP MLA Amantullah Khan and his associates under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 (PMLA). These searches, carried out in connection with the illegal recruitment of staff in Delhi Wakf Board and illegal personal gains from leasing out Wakf Board Properties while Khan chaired the board from 2018-2022, followed an FIR registered by the CBI under various sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, and Indian Penal Code, 1860.
The ED’s investigation has uncovered that Khan acquired significant proceeds from these activities, which were invested in the purchase of various properties in Delhi under his associates’ names. Several incriminating records and evidence have been seized during these searches, indicating Khan’s involvement in money laundering.
