Amanatullah Khan (Aam Aadmi Party MLA from Okhla, Delhi) has approached the Rouse Avenue court, alleging that the Delhi Police's investigation into an assault case against him is biased and disregards evidence supporting his innocence. The incident in question occurred on October 1, 2023, when Khan allegedly assaulted a complainant installing CCTV cameras for the police near Jamia University. The complainant reported injuries and a case was filed under various sections of the Indian Penal Code. Khan asserts that he was attending an event in Sarita Vihar at the time of the incident, a fact he claims was ignored by investigators. He provided documentary evidence to support his alibi and has requested the court to consider this evidence before charges are framed. The court has deferred its decision on the charges and has instructed the police to respond by April 24. In addition to this case, Khan is facing prosecution for corruption and money laundering related to the Delhi Waqf Board and for obstructing police during a raid in Jamia Nagar last year.
