The raids are being conducted on the basis of two FIRs filed by the Delhi Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Khan has been accused of corruption linked to illegal appointments in the Delhi Waqf Board.

The AAP MLA is the chairman of the Delhi Waqf Board.

Khan was arrested last year by the Delhi Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) over the same case but was later granted bail in September 2022.

The raids come days after AAP MP Sanjay Singh was arrested by the ED last week in connection with a money laundering case linked to the Delhi liquor scam.
