The political landscape in Delhi has taken a dramatic turn as the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a chargesheet against Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Amanatullah Khan. The chargesheet, spanning 110 pages, details allegations of money laundering linked to alleged irregularities within the Delhi Waqf Board. This development adds another layer to the ongoing investigation into Khan’s activities, which has seen him facing accusations of financial misconduct.
The ED’s chargesheet, which was submitted to the court on Tuesday, October 31st, also names Mariam Siddiqui as an accused. Notably, Siddiqui was not arrested by the ED during the course of the investigation. The court is scheduled to review the chargesheet on November 4th, signifying a crucial juncture in the legal proceedings.
Khan, who was arrested by the ED on September 2nd from his Okhla residence, remains in judicial custody. His legal team has filed a bail application, which is set to be heard by the court on November 7th. The upcoming hearing will determine whether Khan is released on bail or remains incarcerated pending further legal proceedings.
This case highlights the escalating tensions between the ruling AAP and the central government, with accusations of political motivations flying back and forth. As the legal battle unfolds, it remains to be seen how the charges against Khan will impact the political landscape in Delhi and the future of the AAP.
