A Delhi court on Thursday granted protection from arrest to AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan until February 24 in connection with an alleged attack on a police team in Jamia Nagar on February 10.
Special Judge Jitendra Singh directed Khan to cooperate with the investigation and appear whenever summoned by the investigating officer. The court also instructed the Delhi Police to present all relevant documents and CCTV footage related to the case at the next hearing on February 24.
The Delhi Police had registered an FIR against Khan, accusing him of leading a mob that attacked a police team in Jamia Nagar. According to the police, the mob facilitated the escape of a proclaimed offender, Shabaz Khan, who is wanted in an attempt-to-murder case.
The alleged incident took place when a Crime Branch team attempted to arrest Shabaz Khan in connection with another case. The police claim that Khan and his supporters obstructed the operation, resulting in an altercation.
The next hearing in the case is scheduled for February 24.
