Two-days after the Anti-Corruption Branch
raided the Delhi Waqf Board office, AAP MLA Amantullah Khan resigned
as its chairman and also offered to resign as MLA and Political Affairs
Committee (PAC) member to the party claiming that he was being "framed
in false cases".
A case of sexual harassment has been registered against Khan in
southeast Delhi's Jamia Nagar Police station on a complaint by his
relative. Complainant has also accused her husband of demanding dowry
and building pressure on her to get intimate with the AAP legislator.
A case under IPC sections 354(A)(sexual harassment), 506 (punishment
for criminal intimidation), 509 (word, gesture or act intended to
insult the modesty of a woman), 120B (punishment of criminal conspiracy)
and 498A (husband or relative of husband of a woman subjecting her
to cruelty) has been registered against Amanatullah and the woman's
husband and probe is on, a senior police officer said.
