Why Amanatullah Khan lost his cool?   

AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan earlier today lost his cool when he was asked by Republic reporter to give his reaction over his son flaunting VVIP culture when questioned by police for using a modified motorbike silencer. The MLA's son reportedly told the cop that he's is the son of an MLA.

Watch this clip as the Republic reporter confronts AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan about his son's arrogant behaviour towards a cop. Instead of apologising and addressing the issue, the MLA escalates the situation by openly threatening assault.

Why Amanatullah Khan's son was questioned by police?

Earlier today, the Delhi Police registered a case against two individuals for using a modified silencer motorcycle and misbehaving with officers on duty. They've been fined around Rs 20,000 for violating several sections of the Motor Vehicle Act.

The incident occurred when the police team was conducting a security patrol in the Okhla area of the national capital ahead of Republic Day .

According to the police, these two youths were riding a bike erratically, making loud noises with a modified silencer, and driving in a zigzag manner. When police confronted them, one of the boys claimed to be AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan's son and accused the officers of targeting him because of his father's position.

As per the Delhi police, they also refused to show their driving licenses and identification, saying they didn't need to. One of them even called Amanatullah Khan, who spoke to the Station House Officer (SHO). Despite this, the boys left without disclosing their names and addresses.

The police have registered a case and issued a challan. Their bike has been impounded under several acts.

The police said, “During the patrolling of Delhi Police, two boys were spotted on a bullet, they were coming from the wrong side and making loud noise with the bullet's modifier silencer. The bike was being ridden in a zigzag manner. Police caught the boys and one of the boys told that he was the son of AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan. He misbehaved with Police accusing them that they were doing it because he is AAP MLA's son.”

"When the Police asked for the driving licence and ID, they said they didn't need it. One of the boys called up Amanatullah Khan and made him speak to SHO. Later, boys left without disclosing their names and addresses. ASI brought their bullet to the Police Station. A case registered and Challan has been issued. His bike has been impounded under several acts," they added.
