New Delhi: Amanatullah Khan, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA from Delhi's Okhla, was declared 'Bad Character' (BC) by the Delhi Police. AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan had approached the Delhi High Court to remove the tag, but on Thursday (January 19) the court rejected his plea.
Justice Sudhir Kumar Jain, while delivering the verdict on the matter, said that the Deputy Commissioner of Police concerned has given reasons in support of action against the AAP MLA. Along with this, Judge Sudhir Jain said that if Khan wants, he can approach Delhi Police to remove this tag and submit a memorandum in this regard. After completing the hearing in this case, the judge reserved the decision in October 2022. Arvind Kejriwal's MLA Amanatullah Khan's lawyer M Sufiyan Siddiqui has claimed that the authorities have acted completely wrongly in the matter.
Khan's lawyer has alleged that the history sheet is a confidential document, but the spokesperson of the rival party put it on social media to malign Khan's image. At the same time, during the hearing, the Delhi Police argued that the concerned authorities have followed the proper procedure in this entire matter. On March 28, 2022, Delhi's Jamia Nagar Police Station sent a proposal to declare AAP leader Amanatullah Khan a 'Bad Character' (BC). This proposal was approved on 30 March 2022. It was said in the resolution that a total of 18 FIRs are registered against Amanatullah Khan in different cases.
Let us tell you that during the anti-encroachment campaign run by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) in Shaheenbagh and Madanpur Khadar, AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan created a lot of ruckuses. The policemen had told that during this uproar stones were also pelted at them (police). The police had registered a case making AAP MLA Khan the prime accused in the case. The MLA was also arrested. However, he was later granted bail by the Saket Court. After this Delhi Police declared Amanatullah as BC (Bad Character) due to obstruction in government work and other reasons.
Let us tell you that AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan was arrested in September 2022 by the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) on charges of alleged irregularities in Delhi Waqf Board recruitment. In this case, raids were also conducted at many of his places. During the raid, lakhs of rupees in cash and unlicensed weapons were recovered from Amanatullah's associates. But, in this case, also AAP MLA Amanatullah got bail from the court on a personal bond of Rs 1 lakh.
