While the AAP called ED action "a witch hunt against opposition leaders", the BJP said the investigating agencies were doing their job to expose alleged corrupt practices by AAP leaders.
Though the federal agency officially did not divulge details, a person aware of the probe said the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) investigation against the Okhla MLA is linked to complaint alleging illegal appointments and unauthorised renting of Waqf Board properties. Khan is the chairperson of Delhi Waqf Board.
The Delhi government's anticorruption branch (ACB) had arrested Khan during its ongoing probe in the matter in September last year. Khan got bail in the matter in March this year.
Reacting to the development, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) claimed that 95% of the cases registered by central probe agencies, such as ED and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), are against opposition leaders and said that Khan was granted bail in the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) case last year.
Officials cited above said ED has taken cognisance of the Delhi ACB's first information report (FIR) as well as a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) FIR against Khan.
