The Enforcement Directorate Friday filed a complaint at Rouse Avenue court after AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan skipped its summons in relation to a Waqf Board money laundering case.
The agency filed the complaint in the Court of Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Divya Malhotra under Criminal Procedure Code sections 190 and 200 for not complying with its summons issued under the PML Act Section 50 (power to issue summons) and not joining the investigation.
Earlier, Khan’s anticipatory bail plea in the case was rejected by the court. As per the ED’s case, it is alleged Khan acquired “huge proceeds of crime” in cash through illegal recruitment of staff and invested the amount to purchase immovable assets in the name of his aides.
Earlier, the ED had also filed a prosecution complaint in the matter against five entities, including three alleged associates of Khan who were arrested by the agency in November 2023.
Khan was not named as an accused in the chargesheet. In the chargesheet, however, the agency alleged properties were purchased at Khan’s behest.
