NEW DELHI: Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday conducted raids at multiple locations across Delhi as part of a money laundering investigation linked to the alleged 'classrooms scam' involving senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders and former ministers Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain, according to news agency PTI.ED officials are reportedly searching at least 37 premises belonging to contractors and private entities involved in the case. It remains unclear whether any other politicians are among those targeted in the raids.ED launched the searches following the registration of a criminal case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), based on a Delhi Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) FIR. The case, registered in an FIR filed on April 30, alleges financial irregularities amounting to Rs 2,000 crore in the construction of over 12,000 classrooms and semi-permanent structures in Delhi government schools during the AAP-led government.
