The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has arrested Punjab Industries Minister Sanjeev Arora in a fresh money laundering case linked to him and certain entities allegedly associated with him. Arora was taken into custody under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) after ED teams conducted raids at his official residence in Chandigarh from early morning onwards. Officials claimed the 62-year-old minister was “non-cooperative” during the investigation. He is expected to be produced before a local court, where the agency is likely to seek his custody for further interrogation. The ED also carried out searches at five locations across north India, including two premises in Delhi and the office of Hampton Sky Realty Ltd in Gurugram’s Udyog Vihar area, after registering a fresh case under PMLA provisions.
