100 Crore Money Laundering Case: Punjab Minister Sent to 7-Day ED Custody

Punjab minister Sanjeev Arora in ED custody in the 100 Crore Money Laundering Case investigation

The 100 Crore Money Laundering Case has taken a dramatic turn after a court sent Punjab Industries Minister Sanjeev Arora to seven days of Enforcement Directorate custody. Investigators arrested him in connection with the 100 Crore Money Laundering Case linked to an alleged GST fraud involving mobile phone trading.

Officials say the investigation focuses on fake GST invoices worth more than ₹100 crore. Investigators believe several shell companies created bogus purchase bills to claim input tax credit illegally. Authorities suspect the network used these transactions to move large amounts of money through the financial system.

The Enforcement Directorate conducted searches at multiple locations linked to the minister and his company, Hampton Sky Realty Limited. After questioning him for several hours, the agency arrested him and produced him before a special court in Gurugram.

The ED requested 10 days of custody to trace the money trail and identify other suspects. However, the court granted seven days of custody for further questioning as the probe continues.
