The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted fresh searches in Punjab and Uttar Pradesh on Tuesday as part of its money laundering investigation into an alleged Rs 100 crore GST fraud linked to mobile phone sales. The probe involves Punjab minister Sanjeev Arora and other individuals and entities under scrutiny.
Officials said searches were carried out at nearly six locations across Jalandhar and Ludhiana in Punjab, as well as Bareilly and Noida in Uttar Pradesh. The operation formed part of the agency’s ongoing investigation into the alleged financial irregularities.
According to officials, the raids covered residential and business premises connected to individuals and entities being examined in relation to Hampton Sky Realty Ltd., a company linked to Sanjeev Arora. Investigators conducted searches to gather material relevant to the money laundering case. Sanjeev Arora, 62, was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate last month following searches at his official residence in Chandigarh.
He is currently lodged in judicial custody in connection with the investigation. Before his arrest, Arora held the Power, Industry and Commerce portfolios in the Punjab government. Following his arrest, the state government reassigned his ministerial responsibilities to other members of the cabinet.
