Noida DCP Manish Kumar Mishra said Amanatullah Khan's son wanted to break the queue and get ahead at the petrol pump. When stopped, he attacked and threatened the staff of the petrol pump, he added.

The police officer claimed that AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan reached the petrol pump later and threatened its employees.

"Amanatullah Khan's son wanted to break the queue and forcefully get petrol at the fuel station. He physically assaulted and threatened the fuel station's staff. Later, MLA Amanatullah Khan himself reached there and he also threatened the petrol pump employees. A case has been registered and action is being taken," he added.

Last month, Amanatullah Khan appeared before the Enforcement Directorate in a money laundering case linked to alleged irregularities in the Delhi Waqf Board during his chairmanship.

The 50-year-old Aam Aadmi Party MLA from Delhi's Okhla was questioned by the Enforcement Directorate for over 13 hours.

AAP leader Atishi had claimed that the ED's case against Amanatullah Khan was fake.

The controversial MLA had claimed that he had followed the rules when he was the chairman of the Waqf Board and did everything after taking legal advice.

Several AAP leaders are under the Enforcement Directorate's scanner over a host of corruption cases. Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia, AAP's most prominent leaders, are in jail in connection with money laundering probes linked to the liquor policy case.
