ED Conducts Fresh Raids in Rs 100 Crore GST Fraud Case Linked to Punjab Minister Sanjeev Arora
On 09 June 2026, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted some searches in Punjab and Uttar Pradesh as part of a money laundering investigation which involved Punjab minister Sanjeev Arora and others in an alleged GST fraud case of Rs 100 crore linked to mobile phone sales.
Officials said that searches were conducted at almost six locations around Jalandhar and Ludhiana in Punjab, with Bareilly and Noida in Uttar Pradesh.
According to the officials, the raids covered residential and business premises which were connected to individuals and entities under the scanner in connection with a company named Hampton Sky Realty Ltd, which is also linked to Arora.
Sanjeev Arora at the age of 62 was arrested by the central agency last month after day-long searches at his official residence in Chandigarh. He had been holding the power, industry and commerce portfolios in the Punjab government and is currently in judicial custody.
After his arrest, the Bhagwant Mann-led government reassigned his ministerial responsibilities to other cabinet colleagues.
