Khan is the son of 5 time MLA Amanullah Khan. He rose to fame when he intervened in the kidnap and rape case of a Muslim girl at TRR College. Satya Prakash Singh had kidnapped the girl and held her prisoner for 17 months,during which time he repeatedly raped her. When her parents reported the crime,local police took no action because Singh's brother is a prominent lawyer. Khan led an agitation movement against the police and Singh. Joined by thousands of young people,it brought heavy pressure on the police.

MBT was founded by politician Mohammed Amanullah Khan following a split from the AIMIM. Amanullah Khan,who was a trusted lieutenant of the then AIMIM President Sultan Salahuddin Owaisi,formed the MBT (Save Majlis Movement) in 1993 after his suspension for protesting against the weak stance that the AIMIM took during the demolition of the Babri Masjid. Later,he launched a campaign over the Babri Masjid demolition. Other crucial issues that he raised were lack of internal democracy in the party,nepotism,political patronage and corruption in the AIMIM's civic dealings. [9] [10] [11]
