ED said in the court today that now there is no need to question Khan by keeping him on remand and requested to send him to judicial custody, which was accepted by the court. The AAP MLA is accused that while being the chairman of Delhi Waqf Board, he appointed 32 people, most of whom were his own acquaintances and relatives. Apart from this, Khan is also accused of illegally leasing out the land of Waqf Board. In lieu of these appointments and leasing out land, Khan collected huge amount and spent that money in real estate. Due to these allegations, ED had registered a case against Amanatullah Khan.
However, in this case, the AAP MLA says that he is being unnecessarily implicated. This case is being investigated by both CBI and ED. First, CBI had registered a case in this matter and took action and arrested the AAP MLA. After being in custody for a few days, Khan got bail from the court and he came out of jail. Now ED has tightened its grip on him.
