ACB summons Amanatullah Khan

The Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) has summoned former Delhi Waqf Board chairman Amanatullah Khan to appear before it in connection with the alleged “recruitment scam” in the body.

“Khan has been asked to join the enquiry and be present in the ACB office in Civil Lines tomorrow afternoon,” an ACB official said.

Lieutenant Governor (LG)Najeeb Jung had on October 7 dissolved the Board, constituted by Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government and quashed all appointments made by Khan.

He also referred the whole matter related to Delhi Waqf Board to the Central Board of Investigation (CBI) for probing into the “deliberate and persistent acts of illegality, violation of rules, allegations of corruption, possibility of malafide”.
