AAP Questions ED’s Reference to Aman Arora in Mohali Realty Raids

The ED has not announced any charge against Arora, and the investigation into the real estate-linked allegations is ongoing. By the time of publication, there was no official response from the BJP regarding Arora’s specific allegations.

Punjab BJP president Sunil Jakhar said the ED action exposed AAP’s claims of honest governance and questioned the state government’s attempt to distance itself from the controversy after the party president’s name figured in the matter.

AAP leaders objected to the ED describing one builder as a close associate of Arora, saying a personal association cannot be treated as evidence of wrongdoing. Arora denied any business or financial dealings with those linked to the probe and said he is ready to cooperate with any investigation.

Dhanda alleged that the developers whose premises were searched had links with the BJP, claiming one builder donated to the BJP and another attended a public event with senior constitutional authorities present. He said these claims could not be independently verified.

AAP national media in-charge Anurag Dhanda said Aman Arora had no role in the case and accused the ED of trying to craft a political narrative by naming him before the investigation is complete. He urged the ED to limit its focus to evidence directly related to the case.

The Enforcement Directorate conducted searches at premises linked to real estate developers in Mohali and Chandigarh as part of an alleged money-laundering probe involving real estate projects, suspected irregularities in land approvals, and complaints from investors and homebuyers. The agency said the action was based on material connected to the probe.
