NEW DELHI: A court in Delhi on Monday extended AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan's judicial custody till October 7 in connection with a money laundering case related to alleged irregularities in appointments made at the Delhi Waqf Board during his tenure as its chairperson.
The Rouse Avenue Court, however, allowed Khan to carry his medical record in judicial custody.

The court also called for a report from jail authorities on Khan's application seeking permission to carry an electric kettle and a glucose monitoring device in jail.
The court has set September 25 as the next date of hearing.
The money laundering probe against Khan stems from two FIRs, one registered by the Central Bureau of Investigation in the Delhi Wakf Board-related "irregularities" and another by the Delhi Anti-Corruption Branch related to a case of alleged possession of disproportionate assets.
Khan is among several AAP leaders who have been arrested by the federal agency in different money laundering cases, including chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, former deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia, Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh and former minister Satyendar Jain.

Sisodia and Sanjay Singh are now out of jail on bail.
The ED has claimed Khan acquired "huge proceeds of crime" in cash through illegal recruitment of staff in the Delhi Wakf Board and invested those to purchase immovable assets in the name of his associates.
The agency had alleged in a statement that "illegal recruitment" of staff took place in the Wakf Board and "illegal personal gains" were made by unfairly leasing the Wakf Board properties during Khan's chairmanship (2018-2022).
The agency filed a charge sheet in this case in January and named four people including three alleged associates of Khan -- Zeeshan Haider, Daud Nasir and Jawed Imam Siddiqui.
