<div>
	Born in Uttar Pradesh&rsquo;s Meerut, Amanatullah Khan is a politician affiliated to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). He represents the Okhla constituency in the sixth Delhi legislative Assembly. In the 2015 Delhi election, Amanatullah defeated the Bharatiya Janata Party&rsquo;s (BJP&rsquo;s) Braham Singh by a massive margin of over 60,000 votes.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Before joining the AAP, Khan had contested the 2013 Delhi election, unsuccessfully, on a Lok Jan Shakti Party ticket.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Amanatullah Khan has been in the eye of the storm throughout his Assembly, being regularly targetted by Opposition parties. Most recently, a BJP leader wrote to the Delhi Police and filed a complaint against the AAP leader for allegedly inciting people during a protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act. Several reports claimed that numerous AAP leaders had also written to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for Amanatullah Khan&rsquo;s removal from party ranks.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	The Delhi Police had arrested Khan in July 2016 after a woman alleged that the MLA threatened to kill her when she visited his house with a complaint about power cuts. Months later, he was again arrested over a complaint of sexual harassment by his brother-in-law&rsquo;s wife. He has also been questioned over an alleged recruitment scam in the Delhi Waqf Board by the anti-corruption Bureau.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	In May 2017, Khan was suspended for attacking Kumar Vishwas after he was forced to resign from AAP&#39;s political affairs committee to make room for Vishwas. On 20 February 2018, a case was filed against Khan and fellow legislator Prakash Jarwal for assaulting Delhi Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash.</div>

	For the 2020 Delhi election, the AAP has again fielded Amanatullah Khan from Okhla, a seat he had won in 2015 with a 62.57 per cent vote share against the BJP&rsquo;s Braham Singh (23.84 per cent) and the Congress&rsquo; Asif Mohd Khan (12.08 per cent). This time, while the BJP has retained Braham Singh as its candidate from Okhla, the Congress has yet to announce its candidate.</div>
