AAP Punjab chief challenges ED, claims BJP received donation from accused in money laundering case

Chandigarh, May 8 (UNI) Amid ongoing Enforcement Directorate (ED) raids across Punjab, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) state president and cabinet minister Aman Arora issued a bold challenge to the central agency. The controversy erupted following allegations by the ED linking Arora to Gaurav Dhir, an accused in a high-profile money laundering case.
Addressing a press conference in Chandigarh, Arora acknowledged his friendship with Dhir but distanced himself from any professional dealings. "Gaurav Dhir is a friend, but I have no connection to his business transactions. I challenge the ED to summon me for questioning and examine my mobile records. I have nothing to hide," Arora stated. He further turned the tables on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), alleging that Suresh Bajaj, another accused in the Suntech City case, had donated Rs 2.5 lakh to the BJP in 2023.
The investigation, which has seen raids continue for over 24 hours at multiple real estate groups in Mohali, took a dramatic turn when bags of cash were reportedly thrown from the ninth floor of a residential building during the search. Witnesses reported seeing Rs 500 notes fluttering in the air after a bag burst. The ED has confirmed the recovery of approximately Rs 1 crore in cash so far.
