The ED on Thursday arrested AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan in connection to a Waqf Board case, hours after he appeared before the probe agency for questioning. The money laundering case against Khan stems from a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) FIR and three Delhi Police complaints.

The ED, which had conducted raids on the premises of the legislator, has claimed Khan acquired “huge proceeds of crime” in cash through illegal recruitment of staff in the Delhi Waqf Board.
