Sanjeev Arora, a Punjab Cabinet Minister and Aam Aadmi Party member, is currently the subject of an ongoing money laundering investigation by the Enforcement Directorate (ED). He was arrested on May 9, 2026, in connection with an alleged over ₹102 crore GST fraud involving his company, Hampton Sky Realty Limited.
The ED alleges that Arora orchestrated a scheme using bogus purchase invoices from shell firms to fraudulently claim Input Tax Credit and export-linked incentives. Prosecutors claim he was the principal architect behind a round-tripping arrangement involving fictitious mobile phone exports to the UAE.
Arora remains in judicial custody after a special PMLA court dismissed his bail application on June 15, 2026, citing concerns that he might tamper with evidence. Additionally, Arora was reportedly raided in 2024 regarding a separate investigation into the alleged misuse of industrial land for residential projects. He has denied these allegations, and his legal representatives have characterized the current case as politically motivated.
