The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has carried out raids at locations connected to prominent Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) officials in Delhi. Bibhav Kumar, the private secretary to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, and ND Gupta, the Rajya Sabha MP for the AAP, were raided by the ED on February 6. Based on reports, the ED is carrying out this raid in connection with a money laundering case involving the Delhi Jal Board.

Aside from the residence of former Delhi Jal Board member Shalabh Kumar and personal secretary Bibhav Kumar, ED raids are reportedly occurring at roughly ten locations, according to news agency PTI. The article claims that several other people’s homes are being searched in addition to Rajya Sabha MP Narayan Das Gupta of the Aam Aadmi Party.
AAP goes after ED
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has been the focus of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) at the same time. According to Delhi Minister Atishi, there appears to be an attempt by the Enforcement Directorate to stop her from revealing a “explosive exposé” through their raids on AAP leaders.
“I had said on Twitter that today at 10 o’clock I will make a big revelation about ED. To stop that revelation, to scare the Aam Aadmi Party, ED is raiding the houses of people and leaders associated with the party from 7 am today. A raid is taking place at the house of our leader ND Gupta. A raid is taking place at the house of the Chief Minister’s PS. BJP wants to suppress us, but we will not be afraid. We did not commit the scam. Actually, there is a scam in the ED investigation itself.”
Atishi went on to say that in the past two years, ED has not received a single rupee. Since the ED lacks proof, raids are being carried out to silence us.
