AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan moves Delhi court seeking anticipatory bail

AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan on Thursday, 13 February, moved a Delhi court seeking anticipatory bail in a case of allegedly leading an attack on a police team in Jamia Nagar on 10 February.

Khan filed the application before special judge Jitendra Singh seeking protection from arrest before joining the investigation, claiming that the allegations levelled against him are false.

The Delhi Police registered an FIR against the Okhla MLA for allegedly leading an attack on a police team in Jamia Nagar on Monday.

The judge is likely to take up the matter for hearing later during the day.

The police said the mob led by Amanatullah Khan helped a proclaimed offender, an accused in an attempt-to-murder case,” escape from custody.

It said the alleged incident occurred when the Delhi Police's Crime Branch attempted to arrest one Shabaz Khan in another case.
