Punjab Minister Sanjeev Arora's Legal Battle: A 100-Crore Controversy

Punjab minister Sanjeev Arora has been placed in judicial custody for two weeks amidst allegations of a Rs 100-crore money laundering scheme. The arrest follows investigations by the Enforcement Directorate, which believes Arora engaged in fraudulent activities involving mobile phone sales and suspicious property dealings.

Following a raid at his official residence, Arora was arrested on May 9. The ED has since produced him in court, extending his custody and preparing a charge sheet to outline their findings. Arora, visibly shaken, met with family members before being taken to jail.

The ED's inquiry has also led to questioning of Arora's family, further entangling them in the legal battle. Arora's attorney has dismissed the allegations as baseless, claiming a lack of substantial evidence against his client.
