The ED is raiding the premises linked to AAP politician Anand after a charge sheet against him blamed him of false declaration of imports for customs evasion.
India’s federal economic intelligence agency Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted raids at the premises linked to Delhi Minister and Aam Aadmi Party politician Raaj Kumar Anand on Thursday, in a customs-related money laundering case.
The raids were conducted at the Social Welfare Minister Anand’s residence located in Civil Lines area, and other nine premises linked to him.
The searches came hours ahead of the scheduled questioning of AAP national convenor and Delhi State Chief Arvind Kejriwal by the federal agency in a corruption and money laundering case related to now-scrapped Delhi liquor policy.
Anand, the legislator from Delhi's Patel Nagar constituency, is the latest AAP politician under the scanner of the federal agency while several of his party colleagues are being investigated in the alleged liquor policy scam.
The raids have come in connection to a case related to customs evasion of more than INR 70 million ($840,771) apart from international hawala (money laundering) transactions.
The charge sheet in the case was filed by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI), charging Anand of false declaration of imports for customs evasion.
