These raids come even as the agency moved a Delhi court against the AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal for skipping its summons for the fifth time in a case linked to the Excise policy case.
Delhi minister Atishi accused the BJP-led Centre of using ED raids to scare and silence AAP. The Enforcement Directorate conducted raids on the premises of Delhi CM's personal secretary and an AAP MP as part of a money laundering case. Atishi claimed that more raids on other AAP leaders would be conducted. She also alleged that the probe agency extracted statements by force and threat. Despite a two-year probe, no evidence has been found in the alleged excise policy scam.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's personal secretary, a Rajya Sabha MP and several other AAP leaders were raided by the Enforcement Directorate this morning in a money laundering probe linked to alleged irregularities in Delhi Jal Board.
Raids are underway at a government official’s residence in Jhargram, a businessman’s house in Chunchura, a former panchayat worker’s house in Murshidabad and a former block development officer’s residence in Salt Lake.
AAP leader Atishi said that the ED conducted the searches on Tuesday to prevent them from the “explosive expose”. She said the raids will continue but AAP is not scared.
