The Enforcement Directorate conducted searches across 12 places, including the premises of Delhi Cabinet Minister and AAP leader Raaj Kumar Anand, as part of a money laundering probe.

On Thursday morning, multiple teams of the ED in a coordinated manner began searching the premises at 7am. ED teams were escorted by a CRPF team.

Anand, 57, is an MLA from Patel Nagar and minister for social welfare among others in the AAP government.

The probe pertains to a chargesheet filed by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence on charges of false declarations in imports, which came from China, for customs evasion of more than Rs 7 crore, besides international hawala transactions, an official said. A local court recently took cognizance of the DRI prosecution complaint after which the ED lodged a PMLA case against Anand and his aides. The probe against Anand is being undertaken as per provisions of the PMLA.
