The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) filed a prosecution complaint that led to the searches. The complaint alleged that fraudulent declarations on imports were made in order to evade customs duties totalling over Rs 7 crore and to engage in international hawala transactions.
The court has acknowledged the complaint.
Anand,57, is an AAP-led Delhi MLA from Patel Nagar who also serves as the government’s minister for social welfare and SC/ST welfare.
The searches at Anand’s residence coincide with Delhi Chief Minister and AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal’s decision to not attend the ED summons related to the liquor policy scandal today.
Furthermore, Manish Sisodia, a former Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi and a member of Kejriwal’s party, is already incarcerated in relation to the same case.
