The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has accused Sanjeev Arora, a Punjab minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader, of being central to a fraudulent export network involving ₹157.12 crore (approximately $19 million USD) in fake transactions. The agency claims that Arora, as director of Hampton Sky Realty Limited (HSRL), facilitated bogus exports of mobile phones, primarily to the UAE, using falsified documents to launder money. Investigators allege that these transactions were designed to disguise black money as legitimate income. Additionally, the ED reported that HSRL made payments linked to non-existent purchases through fake GST invoices exceeding ₹100 crore. The ED has identified several shell companies involved in this scheme, indicating a complex web of illicit financial activities. Arora was arrested on May 9 under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, and a special court has remanded him to ED custody for further investigation. The case underscores serious allegations of financial misconduct and significant losses to the Indian government.
