A notable absence in Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s recent meeting with Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) legislators has drawn attention to controversy surrounding Okhla MLA Amanatullah Khan and his son Anas Ahmed. The duo faces allegations of assaulting and threatening staff at a fuel pump in Noida Sector 95, leading to a police investigation and a notable absence in AAP’s legislative gathering.
Amanatullah Khan and his son Anas Ahmed are at the center of allegations involving assault and criminal intimidation at a fuel pump in Noida. The Noida police have registered an FIR against them based on a complaint by a fuel pump employee. However, the accused duo is reportedly “underground,” with their phones switched off and showing non-cooperation with the investigation.
Amanatullah Khan has refuted the allegations, claiming that his son was mistreated by pump staff and that incomplete CCTV footage is being used against them unfairly. He stated that he intervened and settled the matter amicably with the pump owner but was later surprised to find himself implicated in the case.
The FIR against Amanatullah Khan and Anas Ahmed includes charges related to assault, criminal intimidation, and mischief under the Indian Penal Code. Khan, a two-time MLA from Okhla, has previously faced scrutiny from Delhi Police, being labeled a ‘bad character’ last year.
In the midst of this controversy, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal addressed AAP MLAs, highlighting alleged attempts by the BJP to destabilize AAP’s governments in Delhi and Punjab. Kejriwal’s arrest in a money-laundering case, for which he recently received interim bail, has added political dynamics to the situation.
The absence of Amanatullah Khan from AAP’s legislative meeting underscores ongoing challenges within the party and broader political tensions. The allegations and legal actions against Khan and his son, coupled with Kejriwal’s remarks on political maneuvers, reflect a complex landscape as India navigates through electoral and governance issues.
