ED Raids: Enforcement Directorate conducts searches against Congress leader Harak Singh Rawat for alleged money laundering in Dehradun.
The Enforcement Directorate on February 7 conducted searches against Congress leader and former Minister Harak Singh Rawat as part of a money laundering investigation, official sources said.
The searches were carried out at multiple premises in Uttarakhand, Delhi and Chandigarh, they said.
Mr. Rawat had quit the BJP ahead of the 2022 Uttarakhand Assembly polls and joined the Congress.
The ED investigation is understood to be linked to alleged illegal activities in the State's Corbett Tiger Reserve.
Political economist Parakala Prabhakar has described the exit poll results as “fudged figures”, saying that those would benefit the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) only. “False predictions were given with the sole objective of helping the NDA in rigging during the counting,” alleged Mr. Prabhakar, after releasing a book titled ‘Avineeti Chakravarthi Narendra Modi’ penned by former Minister Vadde Shobanadreeswara Rao, here, on June 2 (Sunday).
