On Wednesday, the Enforcement Directorate executed a series of raids across multiple locations in Delhi, delving into a money laundering investigation involving a classroom construction scandal linked to the previous AAP government, according to official sources.
This move by the federal investigative body came after filing a criminal complaint under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, based on information from a Delhi Anti-Corruption Bureau FIR.
The extensive operation targeted at least 37 sites belonging to contractors and private firms. Among those scrutinized are former Delhi government ministers Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain, who stand accused of a massive Rs 2,000 crore embezzlement during the construction of schools' infrastructure.
