The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Tuesday conducted fresh searches at about four-five premises in Delhi as part of a money laundering probe against AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan linked to irregularities in recruitment of staff for the Delhi Waqf Board, PTI has reported citing its sources.
The raids are being carried out under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
Earlier, the ED had in October raided the premises of Khan. It had also arrested three of his associates in this case in November.
The ED had alleged that Khan acquired huge proceeds of crime in cash from illegal recruitment of staff in the Delhi Waqf Board and invested these for purchasing immovable assets in the name of his associates.
“The searches (in October) were conducted in the case related to illegal recruitment of staff in Delhi Waqf Board and illegal personal gains by way of unfairly leasing out of Waqf Board properties during the chairmanship of the board by Amantullah Khan during 2018-2022,” the agency had said in a statement.
