AAP MLA Raman Arora Appears Before ED in Money Laundering and Corruption ProbePreviousNext

AAP MLA Raman Arora appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in Jalandhar for questioning in a money laundering probe linked to corruption and extortion cases registered last year by the Punjab Vigilance Bureau and Jalandhar police. The investigation involves allegations of issuing fake building violation notices and extorting money in collusion with municipal officials. Arora was previously arrested in related cases and has since been sidelined within the party. The ED is examining the proceeds of crime and money trails connected to these allegations.
