Enforcement Directorate Conducts Searches Linked to Former Punjab Minister Sunder Sham Arora
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted searches at multiple locations linked to former Punjab Industries Minister Sunder Sham Arora, his son Prateek Arora, and associated business entities, including the Gulmohar Township project. The raids relate to investigations under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act concerning alleged corruption, disproportionate assets, and irregularities in Punjab Small Industries and Export Corporation (PSIEC) plot allotments. These actions follow earlier Income Tax Department searches and come ahead of the upcoming Punjab assembly elections. Legal counsel confirmed cooperation with authorities, while details of the probe remain under investigation.
