New Delhi, May 18: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Deepak Singla on Monday in connection with a ₹155 crore bank fraud case. A large crowd of supporters gathered outside his residence as the ED team took him into custody, chanting slogans against the central government.
This action is part of an investigation linked to a bank fraud case involving Mahesh Timber Private Limited. The financial scam is also connected to Sanjeev Arora, a Punjab minister and fellow AAP leader, who has already been arrested. To unravel the entire network, the ED conducted extensive raids.
On Monday morning, the ED team simultaneously raided seven locations, including in Delhi and Goa. The searches targeted properties associated with Deepak Singla, Mahesh Singla, Amrik Gill, and their associates. During the investigation, the agency uncovered several crucial documents and digital evidence, leading to Deepak Singla’s detention.
According to the ED, the accused companies and their affiliates obtained loans worth crores by submitting fake documents and false information to banks, subsequently misusing the funds. The agency is now thoroughly investigating where this money was transferred and who else is involved in the network.
Sources indicate that Deepak Singla’s name has emerged directly in the scam. Alongside him, Mahesh Singla and Amrik Gill are also under scrutiny. The ED is considering all aspects of the case, and significant revelations may emerge in the coming days.
