In Delhi, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Amanatullah Khan has arrived at the Enforcement Directorate (ED) office. He is set to be questioned in connection with the money laundering case related to the Delhi Waqf Board. The Okhla MLA is accused of illegally recruiting 32 individuals as the chairman of the Waqf Board and leasing out Waqf properties for personal gain.
Khan arrived at the ED office following the Supreme Court's directive. He had applied for anticipatory bail, which the apex court denied, ordering him to present himself before the ED.

According to the ED, evidence suggests Amanatullah Khan's involvement in money laundering activities. During this period, Khan was the chairman of the Waqf Board. Recently, the ED filed an application with the Rouse Avenue Court, stating that despite six summons, AAP leader Amanatullah Khan failed to appear before the investigating officer. Subsequently, the lower court issued summons, and the ED requested a non-bailable warrant against Khan.
