ED searches premises linked to AAP leader Deepak Singla in money laundering case

The Enforcement Directorate on Monday conducted searches at premises linked to Aam Aadmi Party leader Deepak Singla and some others in an alleged bank loan fraud-linked money laundering case, PTI reported.

The searches are being undertaken at locations in Delhi and Goa, unidentified officials told the news agency. Another official told The Indian Express that in Goa, the searches are being conducted at a flat where some of AAP’s organisation team live.

Describing the Enforcement Directorate as the Bharatiya Janata Party’s “loyal foot-soldier”, AAP leader and former Delhi Chief Minister Atishi said that the central agency had been sent to Goa on account of her party’s “popularity growing” there.

“From early morning today, there is an ED raid at the residence of AAP Goa co-incharge, Deepak Singla, as well as the home of some volunteers in Goa,” she said on social media. “Not only is this an attempt to scare our volunteers, but also to acquire all our organisational data for the BJP!”
