The Enforcement Directorate arrived at the home of former Punjab industry minister Sundar Shah Aroda at 5 a.m., conducting a raid without disclosing the reason, according to his lawyer.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) team reached the residence of senior Congress leader Sundar Shah Aroda, who previously served as Punjab's industry minister, at approximately 5 a.m. The operation was carried out in the early hours, and the agency has not publicly explained the basis for the raid.
Aroda's legal counsel confirmed the presence of the ED team but declined to provide details about the investigation or any alleged violations. The lawyer emphasized that the reasons for the search have not been communicated to the family.
The incident adds to a series of legal challenges faced by the former minister, who has been a prominent figure in the state’s Congress government. No further information about arrests, seizures, or statements from the ED has been released as of now.
Authorities typically keep the specifics of such raids confidential until formal charges are filed. The situation remains under close watch by political observers in Punjab.
The ED’s action underscores ongoing scrutiny of former officials, but the lack of official clarification leaves the public awaiting further updates.
