Enforcement Directorate Investigates Industrial Plot Allotment Irregularities in Punjab
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is investigating alleged irregularities and financial fraud involving industrial plot allotments by Punjab Small Industries and Export Corporation (PSIEC) and Punjab State Industrial Development Corporation (PSIDC). Searches were conducted at multiple locations, including offices and residences of current and former officials. The probe involves accusations of land misuse and money laundering linked to former minister Sanjeev Arora. The ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has condemned the ED's actions as a political vendetta by the central government, while investigations continue amid official silence.
