ED raids residences of two businessmen in Chohla Sahib
Two teams from the Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted raids on the residences of two businessmen in connection with suspected irregularities in cash transactions. The raids were carried out in Chohla Sahib with support from the district police in the early hours of the day.
One team searched the residence of Gurlal Singh, a local businessman and member of the gram panchayat. A separate team simultaneously raided the home of Gurkirat Singh, alias Babbal, a travel agent from the same village.
The ED teams examined relevant documents and scrutinised the mobile phones of the individuals under investigation. The raids were still ongoing at the time of this report.
Gurkirat Singh is reportedly involved in sending a local resident to the US via the illegal donkey route. The individual was arrested by US authorities and subsequently deported.
During the operation, the ED teams maintained strict security, not allowing anyone to enter or leave the premises under investigation.
