Punjab Minister Sanjeev Arora Sent to 14-Day Judicial Custody in Alleged ₹100-Crore Laundering Case

The focus now shifts to a document-led probe by the Enforcement Directorate.

Overview

  • Arora, arrested on May 9, was remanded to judicial custody by a Gurugram special PMLA court on Monday after his ED custody ended.
  • The court ordered one hour of lawyer access each day and allowed him to appoint counsel and sign the vakalatnama.
  • The Enforcement Directorate alleges a fake GST billing racket run through shell firms tied to mobile phone trade, with funds steered into Gurugram properties.
  • Officials say custodial questioning has concluded and the agency is preparing a charge sheet based on seized financial records.
  • His next appearance is listed for June 1, while the Punjab & Haryana High Court deferred his custody challenge to Wednesday due to his counsel’s unavailability.
