ED searches premises of Delhi Minister and AAP leader Raaj Kumar Anand
On Thursday, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) carried out searches at over 10 locations in Delhi, including the premises of Delhi Minister and AAP leader Raaj Kumar Anand, just ahead of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal‘s questioning in connection to the liquor scam case.
ED sources said that the search operations started at around 7 a.m. Besides Anand, the sources also revealed that several other officers are also on the central probe agency’s scanner.
The ED has not revealed the case in which it is carrying out searches.
Meanwhile, Kejriwal is scheduled to appear before the ED during the day for questioning in the case, in which AAP leaders Manish Sisodia and Sanjay Singh have already been arrested.
This is the first time that the Chief Minister has been summoned by the ED in relation to the alleged scam. He was earlier questioned by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in the case in April this year.
Meanwhile, Delhi Police have deployed security personnel in large numbers outside the Enforcement Directorate office here and Rajghat area.
A senior police official said that the security personnel, including para-military forces, have been deployed to maintain law and order situation amid anticipation of gatherings.
