Amanatullah Khan granted bail in money laundering Case, next hearing on May 9

The Delhi Rouse Avenue court has granted bail to Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Amanatullah Khan in a case filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) against him. He was granted bail on a personal bond of Rs 15,000 and one surety of the same amount. The ED had filed a complaint against him for not appearing before the agency and not participating in the investigation related to alleged irregularities in appointments at the Delhi Waqf Board and leasing of its properties. Subsequently, he attended the summons.

During the court proceedings, bail was granted to Amanatullah. The next hearing for the money laundering case is scheduled for May 9. Representing the Okhla assembly constituency in Delhi, Amanatullah Khan has frequently found himself amidst controversies. Born in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, his statements have often drawn criticism from opponents.

Meanwhile, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) interrogated Amanatullah Khan for nearly 13 hours last week, focusing on alleged money laundering irregularities in the Delhi Waqf Board. Amanatullah visited the ED office on April 18 at 11 am to provide his statement. Upon his arrival, senior AAP leaders like Sanjay Singh claimed he had been arrested.

Officials from the investigation agency confirmed that Amanatullah Khan was allowed to leave after the extensive questioning session. According to ANI news agency, upon leaving the ED office, Amanatullah stated, “I was summoned by the ED for questioning. The Supreme Court had also directed me to appear, so I arrived here at 11 am. I answered their questions, and my statement was recorded. Now, I am leaving.”
