After Ashok Mittal, Enforcement Directorate targets another AAP leader over alleged money laundering and land irregularities
Another Setback for AAP
In a major development, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has conducted raids at the residence of Punjab Cabinet Minister Sanjeev Arora, marking another setback for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).
Sanjeev Arora ED raid raids were carried out at Arora’s residence in Ludhiana, where central security forces were deployed outside the premises during the operation. Apart from his house, several other locations linked to him were also searched.
According to official sources, the ED conducted searches in connection with alleged money laundering and irregularities in land dealings. The Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) allowed the action to be taken. Search operations were carried out at about 13 places in Gurugram, Chandigarh, Ludhiana, and Jalandhar. The raids also targeted the homes and offices of businessman Hemant Sood and Chandrashekhar Agarwal.
In an official statement, the ED alleged that Sanjeev Arora, along with certain companies, misused industrial land for residential projects. This alleged misuse is said to have caused financial losses to the state government.
The investigation is currently underway, and further details are awaited.
