The Enforcement Directorate conducted a raid at a residence in Sahnewal belonging to the nephew of Punjab’s housing minister, Mundian, as part of a money‑laundering probe.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) carried out a search operation at a property in Sahnewal, a town in Punjab, that is owned by the nephew of state Housing Minister Mundian. The agency entered the premises with a team of officials and seized documents and electronic devices as part of its investigation.
According to the ED, the raid is linked to a broader money‑laundering case that is being examined across several states. While the exact nature of the alleged financial irregularities has not been disclosed, the agency’s involvement suggests that the authorities suspect the property may be connected to unlawful monetary transactions.
Officials from the minister’s office have not provided a detailed comment, stating that they are awaiting the outcome of the investigation. The minister himself has also refrained from commenting publicly on the matter.
Such enforcement actions are part of a nationwide effort by the ED to clamp down on suspected financial crimes, especially those that may involve public officials or their close associates.
