Probe Agency Conducts Raid At Punjab Minister Sanjeev Arora’s Premises Amid Ongoing Investigation
Probe agency raids Punjab Minister Sanjeev Arora’s premises again
The Enforcement Directorate has carried out fresh searches linked to Punjab politics, this time at premises associated with Punjab Cabinet Minister Sanjeev Arora, just a day after similar action involving Aam Aadmi Party Rajya Sabha MP Ashok Mittal, intensifying the political heat in the state.
According to officials cited in reports, ED teams conducted raids at multiple locations connected to Arora, including residential and business premises in Punjab and neighbouring regions. The searches are being carried out under provisions related to alleged financial irregularities, including suspected violations linked to land and business transactions.
The latest action follows closely on the heels of raids at premises linked to Ashok Mittal, another prominent AAP leader in Punjab, prompting the party to allege a pattern of political targeting by central agencies. The back-to-back developments have escalated tensions between the ruling Aam Aadmi Party in Punjab and the Centre.

Officials have not yet publicly detailed the full scope of the investigation, but preliminary reports suggest the probe involves examination of financial records, property transactions, and associated business entities. Central forces were deployed during the searches as part of standard procedure in high-profile ED operations.
Political reactions have been sharp, with AAP leaders calling the timing of the raids significant, while opposition voices argue that investigative agencies are acting within their mandate to probe potential wrongdoing. The matter is expected to remain politically sensitive as more details emerge from the ongoing investigation.For now, the ED has not issued a final statement on findings, and the searches are understood to be part of an active and continuing inquiry into alleged financial misconduct involving multiple linked entities in Punjab.
