ED Arrests AAP Leader Deepak Singla Following Raids In Bank Fraud Investigation

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Monday arrested Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Deepak Singla in connection with an alleged money laundering case linked to a bank fraud probe, according to officials. Authorities said Singla was taken into custody along with several others during the course of the investigation.

Officials also confirmed that multiple searches were carried out at locations linked to the accused as part of the ongoing investigation. The case pertains to alleged financial irregularities and suspected laundering of proceeds connected to a bank fraud matter under scrutiny by the agency.

Following the ED action, AAP leader Atishi alleged in a post on social media platform X that the raids were politically motivated. She claimed that searches were conducted at the residence of Deepak Singla, who serves as AAP Goa co-incharge, as well as at the homes of party volunteers, and described the action as an attempt to intimidate workers and obtain organisational data. These claims have not been independently verified.

Earlier, in 2024, the Enforcement Directorate had also conducted searches at Singla’s residence as part of an ongoing money laundering investigation linked to the same bank fraud case. The latest arrests mark a further escalation in the agency’s probe.
