The Enforcement Directorate wrapped up a 40‑hour search of former minister Sundar Shyam Aroda’s house, after which the politician said investigators found no incriminating material.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) concluded a prolonged raid lasting 40 hours at the residence of former Punjab minister Sundar Shyam Aroda. The operation, which began earlier this week, involved a team of investigators combing through the premises for financial irregularities linked to ongoing probes.
According to statements released by the ED, the search was completed without uncovering any material that could be deemed incriminating. The agency has not disclosed further details about the scope of the investigation or any subsequent actions.
Following the raid, Aroda addressed the media, asserting that the authorities found no evidence of wrongdoing at his home. He described the operation as a "record‑setting" effort but maintained that it yielded no substantive findings.
The episode adds to a series of high‑profile ED actions across the country, reflecting the agency’s intensified focus on alleged financial misconduct among political figures.
