In the metropolis of New Delhi: The personal aide to Delhi’s Chief Executive, Arvind Kejriwal, along with a Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament associated with the Aam Aadmi Party, are currently subjects of a rigorous scrutiny conducted by the Enforcement Directorate in the context of an ongoing money laundering investigation, as per insider sources.
Operatives from the ED are presently executing meticulous searches at more than 12 locations spanning across Delhi, Chandigarh, and Varanasi.
Bibhav Kumar, the dedicated aide to Mr. Kejriwal, ND Gupta, a distinguished representative in the Rajya Sabha, and Shalabh Kumar, a former member of the Delhi Jal Board, find themselves amidst the individuals undergoing this thorough examination.
Asserting confidence, Delhi’s Minister Atishi proclaimed at a morning press gathering, “We harbor no fear. There is no substantiation of any irregularity. The ED appears to be attempting to transform the accused into government informants.”
This investigative operation, entangled with allegations of impropriety within the Jal Board, unfolds just before a scheduled press conference by the AAP. The party had hinted at unveiling significant revelations during the impending event.
The ED, delving into two purported financial missteps outlined in the CBI’s registered case, casts a spotlight on the unfolding drama. In connection with the Jal Board, two former chief engineers have already been apprehended in relation to the case.
