The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is conducting search operations at six premises across Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Delhi NCR, in connection with a money laundering case involving Hampton Sky Realty Limited. The locations include Ludhiana and Jalandhar in Punjab, Bareilly in Uttar Pradesh, and the Delhi-Noida region. According to ED officials, the premises being covered include both residences and business offices connected with the persons and entities linked to Hampton Sky Realty Limited. Further details are awaited.

The case is linked to Aam Aadmi Party leader and Punjab Minister Sanjeev Arora. According to the probe agency, it uncovered a large-scale money laundering operation allegedly carried out through entities linked to Mr Arora. ED had said that fake GST purchases of mobile phones worth over 100 crore rupees were used, followed by exports to allegedly round-trip illegitimate funds from Dubai to India. ED said that multiple fake GST purchase bills were obtained from non-existing firms in Delhi to fraudulently claim input tax credit, GST refunds on exports and duty drawbacks, causing losses to the exchequer and resulting in wrongful gains to the accused.
