Searches at Delhi Minister home ahead of Arvind Kejriwal’s probe agency summons

The Enforcement Directorate is conducting raids at nine premises linked to Delhi Minister Raaj Kumar Anand. According to news agency ANI, the searches began early Thursday morning. Official sources told PTI that the raids are being conducted as part of a money laundering investigation. His premises in the Civil Lines area and a few other locations are being searched by the federal agency, the official sources said. The ED search teams are escorted by a team of the CRPF, the officials added.

The 57-year-old minister holds the social welfare and SC/ST welfare profile among others in the CM Arvind Kejriwal-led government. He is an MLA from Patel Nagar.

Responding to the development, BJP leader Harish Khurana claimed the entire Delhi cabinet was busy with scams, adding the matter was related to hawala and customs.
