A team of Delhi Police arrived at the residence of AAP leader Amanatullah Khan in connection with allegations against his supporters, of freeing a murder accused from Police custody.
The police registered an FIR against the newly-elected Okhla MLA after his supporters forcibly freed an accused who is facing charges of murder. Khan was not present at home.
An officer bearer, Firoz said, “We don’t know what the matter is. We work in the office. When the Police came here, the doors were shut. They told us to open the doors for them to check. We facilitated them but there was nothing inside. They are now leaving…They have not disclosed what the matter is.”
