The Enforcement Directorate has linked former Punjab minister Satyendra Jain and ex‑Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia to alleged irregularities in a Mohali Development Authority land auction.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has opened an investigation that connects former Punjab minister Satyendra Jain and former Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia to alleged irregularities in a land auction conducted by the Mohali Development Authority.
According to the agency, the auction process was allegedly manipulated to favor specific bidders, causing a loss of revenue for the authority. Financial records and ownership documents reportedly point to the involvement of the two politicians.
Both Jain and Sisodia have been served notices and are expected to appear before the ED for questioning. The agency has not disclosed the exact quantum of the alleged loss or the number of parcels involved.
The Mohali Development Authority said it will cooperate fully with the probe and is reviewing its auction procedures to prevent future lapses. This investigation adds to a series of high‑profile probes into political figures over alleged corruption.
No further comment was obtained from the officials at the time of reporting.
