Amanatullah Khan writes to Delhi Police Commissioner
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Amanatullah Khan has written a letter to the Delhi Police Commissioner, asserting that he is not absconding and remains within his constituency. In the letter, Khan alleged that some police officials are attempting to implicate him in a false case.
Key allegations in Khan’s letter
Khan stated that:
- He is not on the run and is present in his constituency.
- Certain Delhi Police officials are trying to frame him in a fabricated case.
- The person whom the police initially came to arrest has already been granted bail.
- When that individual presented the necessary legal documents, the police, in an attempt to cover up their mistake, are now targeting him with false allegations.
The letter comes amid an intensifying police operation to arrest Khan, with raids conducted at multiple locations across Delhi, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh. Delhi Police has yet to officially respond to his claims.
