Court grants bail to AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan in Delhi Waqf Board case

AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan in the case registered on the complaint filed by the Enforcement Directorate against him.
The court granted him bail on a personal bond of Rs 15,000 and one surety of like amount.

ED had recently moved a complaint against him for not appearing before the agency and not joining the probe in the case related to the alleged irregularities in appointment in Delhi Waqf Board and leasing of its properties.

The central agency, which had conducted raids on his premises earlier, has claimed Khan acquired «huge proceeds of crime» in cash through illegal recruitment of staff in the Delhi Waqf Board and invested those to purchase immovable assets in the name of his associates.

The money laundering case against Khan stems from a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) FIR and three Delhi Police complaints.

The ED had alleged in a statement that «illegal recruitment» of staff took place in the Waqf Board and «illegal personal gains» were made by unfairly leasing the Waqf Board properties during Khan's chairmanship (2018-2022).
