Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Amanatullah Khan has responded to recent allegations, denying claims that he is evading authorities and asserting that the Delhi Police are attempting to frame him in a fabricated case. The Okhla MLA communicated his stance in a letter addressed to Delhi Police Commissioner Sanjay Arora on Wednesday, emphasizing his presence in his constituency and his commitment to addressing the accusations against him.
Denial of Allegations
Khan’s strong denial comes after the Delhi Police registered a First Information Report (FIR) against him. The FIR accuses him of obstructing justice and interfering with the execution of official duties. These are serious accusations that carry significant legal weight.
The core of the police’s accusation is that Khan allegedly hindered a raid and interfered with officials performing their duties. However, Khan is steadfast in his claim that these charges are baseless and form part of a broader scheme to damage his public image. He alleges that the police are attempting to conceal their own errors by falsely implicating him.
Khan’s Response and Counter-Accusations
In his letter to Commissioner Arora, Khan directly addressed the accusations. “Some people in the Delhi Police are implicating me in a false case,” he wrote. “The person whom the Delhi Police had come to arrest is out on bail. The police are implicating me in a false case to hide its mistake.” This statement underscores Khan’s unwavering position against the allegations and his belief that he is a target of unfair treatment by certain individuals within the Delhi Police force.
