Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Amanatullah Khan on Monday morning alleged that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has arrived at his Delhi residence to arrest him. Sources told PTI that the ED team arrived at his Okhla residence as part of a money laundering probe. Delhi Police and CRPF units have been stationed at Khan's home.

Khan released a video statement on X, alleging that the ED team intends to arrest him. He stated, "The ED team is using a search as an excuse to arrest me. My mother-in-law, who recently underwent surgery four days ago for cancer, is at my home. I had notified the ED about this situation."

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?

आख़िर ये तानाशाही कब तक?#EDRaid #Okhla pic.twitter.com/iR2YN7Z9NL — Amanatullah Khan AAP (@KhanAmanatullah) September 2, 2024

Khan further said, "It is 7 AM right now. ED has come to my residence to arrest me in the name of a search warrant. My mother-in-law has been diagnosed with cancer. She had an operation four days ago. She is also at my house. I have written to them (ED) and I have replied to every notice. Their only motive is to arrest me and stop our work. For the last two years, these people have been harassing me, and filing fake cases against me. Every day, they are creating some or the other problem for not only me but my entire party.We are neither going to bow down to them nor are we going to be afraid of them, they will send us to jail. I am hopeful that the way we got justice in the court earlier, this time too we will get justice." 

In another video shared by AAP MP Sanjay Singh on his ‘X’ post, Amanatullah can be seen indulged in a argument with ED officials. He argues that his mother-in-law has cancer, she has undergone an operation.

Sanjay Singh attacked the Modi-led central government and wrote, "There is no evidence against @KhanAmanatullah but both Modi's dictatorship and ED's hooliganism continue."

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
