AAP accuses BJP of targeting AAP leaders, calls it political vendetta
AAP leaders denounced ED's actions. AAP MP Sanjay Singh took to X and suggested that Khan was being targeted as part of the BJP's political vendetta.
Singh wrote, "Look at the cruelty of ED @KhanAmanatullah first he joined the ED investigation, then asked for time for further time, his mother-in-law has cancer, she has undergone an operation, and they reached the house early in the morning to raid. There is no evidence against @KhanAmanatullah but both Modi's dictatorship and ED's hooliganism continue."
Former Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia, who was recently released on bail in the liquor policy scam case, reacted to Khan's arrest andwrote, "This is the only work left for ED. Suppress every voice raised against the BJP. Break it. Arrest and put in jail those who do not break or get suppressed."
What is ED's case against Amanatullah Khan?
The ED’s case against Khan is connected to accusations that he engaged in illegal recruitment and leased Waqf Board properties illegally between 2018 and 2022, and benefitted financially.
The agency has previously questioned Khan and claimed "huge proceeds of crime" in cash through these illicit activities. The ED alleged that Khan used these funds to purchase properties under the names of his associates.
