New Delhi: BJP MP Yogender Chandolia criticised AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan, referring to him as "100 per cent criminal" following a controversy involving Khan's son. The remarks came after Delhi Police impounded a bike and registered a case against two individuals, one of whom claimed to be Khan’s son, for rash driving and misbehaviour.
The incident took place in Okhla during a security patrol ahead of Republic Day. According to police, the youths were riding a motorcycle with a modified silencer, driving recklessly, and making loud noises. When confronted, one of them claimed to be Amanatullah Khan's son and accused the officers of targeting him due to his father’s political position.
The police stated that the individuals refused to provide their identification and licenses. Despite Amanatullah Khan reportedly speaking with the Station House Officer, the youths left without disclosing their details. The bike was subsequently impounded, and fines amounting to ₹20,000 were imposed for violating the Motor Vehicle Act.
Chandolia commended the police action, stating, “Rash driving can prove fatal. It’s good that the police seized his son’s vehicle. People like Amanatullah Khan of AAP are 100 per cent criminals. These people think Delhi is their father’s property.”
Chandolia also criticised Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, alleging that his government has failed to clean the Yamuna in 10 years. He remarked, “Anna Hazare should disassociate himself from Kejriwal, who has destroyed Delhi rather than developing it.”
The controversy emerges as Delhi gears up for assembly elections, scheduled for February 5, with vote counting on February 8.

Srinagar: The Jammu and Kashmir police detained a journalist, Hilal Mir, for allegedly spreading “anti-national content”.
Mir was detained by the police’s counter-intelligence unit and his digital devices, including a mobile phone and laptop, were seized, as reported by The Indian Express.
The police called Mir a “radical social media user” and said that he “used to disseminate extremist/distorted content with an intention to disturb peace and promote disaffection and secessionist ideology and present India in a bad shape”.
A journalist for over two decades, Mir has worked with several local and national news publications. Police accused Mir of being “actively engaged in posting and sharing content aimed at inciting sentiments among young minds and instigating secessionist sentiment by portraying Kashmiris as victims of systemic extermination.”
Police further alleged he “was found in touch with some suspected foreign-based cell numbers involved in suspicious activities, presumably taking dictation from the adversary for disturbing the peace and tranquillity in the Valley, which is a matter of investigation,” added the report.
They said his posts reflect a “veiled attempt to cultivate public resentment, which is a threat to security/sovereignty.”
As per reports, he has been sent to preventive detention till May 13 and has been lodged in Srinagar’s Central Jail.
