The Enforcement Directorate has detained Aam Aadmi Party MLA Amanatullah Khan in connection with a money laundering case. The central agency conducted searches at the AAP leader’s residence on Monday.
Sleuths from the central agency reached Khan’s residence during the early hours of Monday to conduct searches in connection with a money laundering case. Earlier today, Khan had shared a video on X alleging the Bharatiya Janata Party is harassing him and other AAP leaders.
"An ED team has reached my house to arrest me. Early this morning, at the behest of the dictator, his puppet ED reached my house. The dictator is leaving no stone unturned to harass me and other AAP leaders," said Khan, who represents Okhla in the Delhi Assembly.

Several Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders, including Manish Sisodia and Sanjay Singh, hit out at the BJP government at the Centre, saying agencies are targeting those who raised their voices against the ruling party.
In a video on X, Khan also said he has been replying to all the notices being sent by the agency. But a team is here to arrest him on a search warrant, he said. Senior AAP leader Sanjay Singh said the central agency had no evidence against Khan.
