ED raids sparks political uproar in Punjab

Even as the Enforcement Directorate (ED) continued to conduct survey and search operations at offices of the Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA) in Punjab’s Mohali and premises linked to senior housing and urban development officials in connection with an alleged money laundering probe, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Thursday (September 24, 2026) blamed the BJP for weaponising central agencies to intimidate opponents ahead of upcoming assembly elections.

AAP workers staged a protest outside the office of GMADA in Mohali on Thursday (September 24), where the ED was conducting its search operation as part of its investigation, which began on Tuesday. The ED also searched the residence of the nephew of Punjab cabinet minister Hardeep Singh Mundian in Sahnewal in Ludhiana on Wednesday (September 23).
