The Delhi Police has on Friday filed a charge sheet against AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan for an assault case in 2018. As per reports, a man had alleged that Amanatullah Khan has assaulted him at a wedding.

On October 10, 2018, a man named SM Faizan had registered an FIR at Delhi’s Hazrat Nizamuddin police station. As per reports, the man had first lodged an FIR at Delhi’s Jamia police station but Amanatullah Khan allegedly threatened him to withdraw the case.

A police investigation had revealed that the victim, SM Faizan was at the wedding of his friend’s sister at a house in Kaka Nagar when AAP’s Amanatullah Khan had assaulted and threatened him to withdraw a previous case of assault against him. The police team had found eye witness accounts and video evidence of Khan assaulting the man at the said wedding.

The victim had told that Khan and his cronies had blocked the exit at the wedding venue and had assaulted him for lodging an FIR against Khan for a previous incident of assault. Previously Khan had allegedly brushed his car against the man’s vehicle and when he protested, Amanatullah Khan had threatened him with a gun.

Cases of assault and criminal intimidation were lodged in both instances.

It is notable here that AAP leader Amanatullah Khan has several criminal cases against him. Last year, he was also allegedly involved in the assault of Delhi Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash at the CM’s residence. From corruption, irregularities in the Delhi Waqf Board, physical assault, intimidation and sexual harassment, the AAP MLA has a long list of charges against him.

Last year, he was also caught pushing and shoving Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari at an event in the Signature Bridge.
