The Enforcement Directorate seized a government house in the Greater Mohali Area Development Authority zone, prompting the BJP to allege political motivation.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) carried out a raid on a government‑owned residence situated in the Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA) precinct, a property that lies between the house of a minister's nephew, an IAS officer's home and the quarters of senior ministers. The operation was completed within two days of its initiation, according to local reports.
The raid immediately triggered a political backlash, with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) questioning the motive behind the ED's move. Party leaders in Punjab and Chandigarh described the action as driven by political vendetta, alleging that the agency was being used to target opposition figures.
The controversy has escalated into a broader political tussle in the Punjab‑Chandigarh region, with both sides demanding clarification from the central investigative agency. No further details on the investigation or any arrests have been released as of now.
