ED Conducts Fresh Raids At Punjab Minister Sanjeev Arora’s Premises

Reacting to the raids, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann accused the BJP of misusing central agencies.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted fresh search operations at four premises linked to Punjab Industry Minister Sanjeev Arora and his associates under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002.

According to officials, the searches are being carried out in Chandigarh and the Delhi-NCR region. The premises being searched include the official residence allotted to Arora in his capacity as a minister.

Reacting to the raids, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann accused the BJP of misusing central agencies.

In a post on X, Mann said, “Today, once again, the BJP’s ED has come to Sanjeev Arora’s house. In one year, this is the third time the BJP’s ED has come to his house. And in the last one month, the second time. Yet, they haven’t found anything."

He further wrote, “I want to tell Modi ji that Punjab is the land of the Gurus, which even Aurangzeb could not subdue. This is the land of Bhagat Singh, who never bowed before the British, so Punjab will never bow before Modi’s tactics. The end of this unethical alliance of ED-BJP will begin from Punjab itself."

In April, the Enforcement Directorate had conducted raids on Sanjeev Arora and entities linked to him under the civil provisions of the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA).

After the searches, Arora had stated that he would cooperate fully with the investigating agencies and said he was confident that the truth would emerge.

The Ludhiana West MLA had earlier faced ED action in 2024 in a money laundering case related to the alleged conversion of industrial land for residential projects. At that time, he was a Rajya Sabha MP.
