FIR against AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan after criminal escapes due to his ‘interruption’ in police operation.
The Delhi Police Crime started an operation in Jamia to detain Shahbaz Khan. Amanatullah Khan questioned the legitimacy of Shahbaz Khan's arrest, who was detained over an attempt to murder charge.
The intervention led to a heated exchange between Amanutullah Khan and the Crime Branch team. In between the chaos, Shahbaz Khan fled, failing the attempts of police to detain him, according to a report by India Today.
The AAP legislator and his supporters actively halted law enforcement, delaying the operation and helping the accused to escape. Due to this incident, the Crime Branch has filed a complaint, and legal action against the MLA is ongoing.
In the Delhi Assembly Election 2025, AAP leader Amanatullah Khan won the Okhla constituency for the third consecutive time. He was contesting against BJP candidate Manish Chaudhary. Khan blamed Congress for AAP's defeat in the Delhi elections.
In Delhi Assembly Election 2025, the BJP marked a landslide victory, with 48 seats in the 70-member House.
Khan accused the Congress of prioritising AAP's defeat over its own electoral performance.
"The Congress contested the election not to win but to ensure our defeat. Rahul Gandhi came to campaign in my constituency for the first time ever. It knew it had no chance of winning but was determined to make us lose," Khan told PTI.
AAP and Congress are a part of the INDIA bloc and contested last year's Lok Sabha elections in an alliance in Delhi.
"We were strong in Delhi, not the Congress. But its actions helped the BJP come to power. The Congress had nothing to lose, but its strategy hurt secular voters the most," he added.
The AAP secured 43.57 per cent of the votes polled, while the BJP managed 45.56 per cent. The Congress' vote share stood at 6.34 per cent.
