A Delhi court on Friday, September 6, sent Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and MLA Amanatullah Khan to three days of Enforcement Directorate (ED) custody in the Delhi Waqf Board Money laundering case. The ED had sought custody for 10 days to interrogate him.
Special judge Vishal Gogne passed the order on an application moved by the central probe agency, which had sought Khan's custody for 10 more days. "Custody extended by three days. He be produced on September 9," the judge said.
Khan was produced before the court on the expiry of his four-day Enforcement Directorate custody granted earlier. He was taken into custody on September 2 after the agency searched his residence in the Okhla area of the national capital under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

The ED told the court that some questions were put to Khan during the searches but he remained "evasive" and hence, was arrested.
