Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Amanatullah Khan alleged that Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials arrived at his residence in the capital early Monday morning to arrest him.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Khan claimed that the action was taken “at the behest of the dictator” and described the ED’s move as part of a broader campaign of harassment against him and other AAP leaders.
“Just now early in the morning, at the behest of the dictator, his puppet ED has reached my house, the dictator is leaving no stone unturned in harassing me and AAP leaders,” he said in a post on X, which was accompanied by a video.
अभी सुबह-सुबह तानाशाह के इशारे पर उनकी कटपुतली ED मेरे घर पर पहुँच चुकी है, मुझे और AAP नेताओं को परेशान करने में तानाशाह कोई कसर नहीं छोड़ रहा।ईमानदारी से अवाम की ख़िदमत करना गुनाह है?

Khan further expressed frustration and questioned: Is it a crime to serve the people honestly? How long will this dictatorship last?.”
AAP senior leader Sanjay Singh shared a video on X showing Khan arguing with ED officials, questioning their reason for being at his house. Khan also asked, “If you’re not here to arrest me, then why are you here?.”
ED की निर्दयता देखिये @KhanAmanatullah पहले ED की जाँच में शामिल हुए उनसे आगे के लिए समय माँगा, उनकी Mother In Law को कैंसर है उनका ऑपरेशन हुआ है घर में सुबह सुबह धावा बोलने पहुँच गये।@KhanAmanatullah के ख़िलाफ़ कोई सबूत नहीं है लेकिन मोदी की तानाशाही और ED की गुंडागर्दी दोनों… pic.twitter.com/GyhduaghJB— Sanjay Singh AAP (@SanjayAzadSln) September 2, 2024
In his post, Singh condemned the ED’s “cruelty” and claimed there is no evidence against Khan.
“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, 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,” Singh wrote.
Khan, AAP MLA from Okhla constituency in South Delhi, is under investigation by the central agency in connection with a money laundering case related to the Waqf Board.
