The Delhi High Court has rejected the bail pleas of Zeeshan Haider and Daud Nasir, arrested in a money laundering case related to alleged irregularities in Delhi Waqf Board recruitment. The court stated that there was sufficient evidence to implicate them under the anti-money laundering laws.

The case stems from CBI FIR and three Delhi Police complaints against Khan and four others.
A Delhi court has rejected a plea for interim bail from Kausar Imam Siddiqui, who is implicated in the Delhi Waqf Board money laundering case. The Special Judge dismissed Siddiqui's application, noting that there were no exceptional circumstances to justify granting relief.

The Supreme Court has directed all states and Union Territories to ensure that their police records, known as ‘history sheets’, are not biased against individuals based on their caste. The court made this statement while considering a plea by AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan, who was being targeted with a history sheet by Delhi’s Jamia Nagar police station. The process of opening a history sheet is governed by state-specific police rules and involves a detailed summary of the individual's criminal history and personal information. The court has cautioned against any prejudicial mindset while preparing these records and directed that caste must not be included in the description.
The Aam Aadmi Party's MLA from Okhla, Amanatullah Khan, has been arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with a money laundering case involving the Waqf board.

Despite the Supreme Court refusing his anticipatory bail, Khan maintains his innocence while AAP leaders accuse the central government of conspiring against them.
The Delhi Waqf Board appointment scam has taken another turn as Aam Aadmi Party MLA Amanatullah Khan was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate after several summons.

This is not Khan's first encounter with the ED, and he has previously been arrested in September 2022 for corruption charges. The Delhi court has refused to grant him anticipatory bail, stating that everyone is subject to the same law.

Khan has previously been served with summonses to appear in court, but has allegedly failed to respond.
In a new development, the Delhi High Court has upheld the arrest of CM Arvind Kejriwal in the excise policy money laundering case, much to the dismay of the AAP party.
