Forest Scam: ED Raids Former Punjab Minister Dharamsot

The Enforcement Directorate on Thursday has raided multiple locations in Punjab of former state forest minister and Congress leader Sadhu Singh Dharamsot and some contractors in an alleged forest scam linked with money laundering case.

They stated that about 14 locations in the state are being searched by the agency under provisions of the PMLA.

The 5-time MLA was arrested earlier this year by the Punjab Vigilance bureau as part of a case linked to alleged possession of disproportionate assets.
