Enforcement Directorate

PMK founder S Ramadoss strongly condemned the Enforcement Directorate's raid on former Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan's residence, labeling it a political vendetta and a threat to democracy. He highlighted reports indicating no incriminating evidence was found, reinforcing suspicions of a politically motivated action. Ramadoss emphasized the need for independent central agencies, expressing concern over their misuse against political opponents.

In a bold statement, former Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has taken the Congress party to task for its 'self-serving' reaction to enforcement actions against political adversaries. He accused the party of only raising concerns when it's their own members facing scrutiny. Vijayan condemned the BJP's alleged manipulation of investigative agencies and urged for a collective resistance to such tactics.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Tuesday carried out extensive search operations across multiple locations in Punjab and Chandigarh in connection with an alleged fraud and money laundering case involving Chandigarh Royale City Promoters Pvt Ltd (CRCPL) and the Royale Estate Group, officials said.

CPI-M workers were arrested for allegedly attacking ED officials during protests outside former Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan's residence. The ED conducted searches in connection with the CMRL case, which Vijayan and Arvind Kejriwal criticized as a "targeted attack" and misuse of central agencies.

Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann and AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal visited Bhondsi Jail to meet jailed minister Sanjeev Arora. Arora was arrested by the ED on May 9 in connection with a Rs 100 crore fake GST billing and money laundering racket. He was subsequently sent to judicial custody after ED completed his interrogation.

Seven months after its request was rejected, the Enforcement Directorate has again sought prosecution sanction from Tamil Nadu's chief secretary to proceed against former minister V Senthil Balaji in a cash-for-jobs scam.

Punjab's Industries Minister Sanjeev Arora has been taken into judicial custody following his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate in a significant money laundering scandal involving ₹100 crore tied to fraudulent GST billings. During a rare family visit, his loved ones met him for the first time since his detainment.
