The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has intensified its investigation into Sanjeev Arora, a cabinet minister in Punjab, India, by conducting searches on the premises of his associate Neeraj Satija in Ludhiana. This follows previous raids at Arora's residences and offices, targeting allegations of money laundering, illegal betting syndicates, and financial irregularities. The ongoing probe, under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA), is particularly focused on the operations of Hampton Sky Realty Ltd, where Arora's son, Kavya, is managing director. The firm is accused of engaging in fraudulent sales bookings and manipulating share prices. Additionally, the investigation has revealed connections to Chander Shekhar Aggarwal, implicated in the ₹6,000-crore Mahadev App scam. The ED suspects that Arora utilized his political influence to protect illegal betting operations in exchange for profits, converting illicit funds into legitimate investments through fraudulent means. As the investigation progresses, the ED has yet to release an official statement regarding the raids.
