Compensation to student: AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan named in FIR in Ghaziabad

Khan had last week announced Rs 5 lakh and a job at the Delhi Waqf Board for a Jamia student who lost sight in one eye during a protest against the amended Citizenship Act.

The FIR states: “There is already a sentiment in the country that the Act will harm a particular community. On December 18, Khan promised a job and financial aid to a protester, which made it appear that those who create religious disturbance would be duly rewarded.”

Even though the incident relates to a student of Jamia Millia Islamia in Delhi, the FIR claims the compensation offered by Khan “incited passions within a particular community and violence was caused in Ghaziabad as well”.

AAP officials did not respond to allegations made in the FIR.
