The Enforcement Directorate on Monday produced AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan before a Delhi court in a money laundering case.
Khan was produced before Special Judge Rakesh Syal as the ED sought his 10-day custody, saying he was required to be confronted with other accused people and evidence in the case.
The counsel appearing for the accused challenged his arrest in the case.
The arguments in the case are currently underway.
Khan was taken into custody under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) after the agency conducted a search at his residence in the Okhla area of the national capital earlier in the day.
The ED told the court that some questions were put to Khan during the searches but he remained “evasive” and hence was arrested.
The ED told the court that Khan was the main accused of the entire controversy in the case.
“The proceeds of crime have been used and laundered to buy property. Cash (is) also used. There was an attempt to misguide the agency,” the ED told the court.
The agency further accused Khan of non-cooperation, saying 14 summons were issued to him, and he appeared only once, that too after a Supreme Court direction.
