The residence and other locations linked to AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan have been raided by the Delhi ACB, with a large sum of cash seized.
After several Aam Aadmi Party leaders such as Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain have central agencies on their trail, Delhi AAP leader Amanatullah Khan is also being investigated by the city’s Anti-Corruption Bureau, with multiple locations linked to him seized.
The Delhi Anti-Corruption Branch on Friday conducted searches at AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan's house and his other locations and seized Rs 12 lakh as well as an unlicensed weapon, officials said, as per PTI reports.
The AAP leader is currently under the scanner of the Delhi ACB, which is probing alleged irregularities in the recruitment in the Delhi Waqf board. It issued a notice to Khan on Thursday for questioning in connection with the two-year-old corruption case.

The Okhla MLA was called for questioning on Friday at 12 pm in connection with a 2020 case registered under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
Khan, the chairman of the Delhi Waqf Board, had tweeted about the notice, claiming he has been summoned as he built a new Waqf board office. A senior official said the searches were conducted on Friday at the house of Khan and his other locations. From one of the locations, Rs 12 lakh cash, an unlicensed weapon, and some cartridges were seized, the official said.
Earlier, the ACB had written to the Lieutenant Governor's Secretariat demanding that Khan be removed as the Delhi Waqf Board chairman for allegedly hampering a probe by "bullying" witnesses in a case against him.
Amanatullah Khan had also posted a sarcastic tweet last night regarding the summons issued to him in the Delhi Waqf board case, saying that he had been called to build another such board in the midst of the ongoing investigation.
