Overview

• ED teams conducted PMLA searches at 13 locations across Delhi-NCR, including Bharadwaj’s home and contractor offices on KG Marg and in West Patel Nagar.
• Investigators say the action is tied to ECIR/FIR No. 37/2025 and focuses on tracing suspected diversion and laundering linked to projects sanctioned in 2018–19 for about ₹5,590 crore.
• ACB materials cite delays and major overruns across 11 greenfield and 13 brownfield hospital works, pointing to examples such as the partly built 6,800-bed ICU facilities and the LNJP expansion cost jump.
• Bharadwaj claims ED officers pressured him, altered his recorded statement during a 14-hour session, and seized public affidavits while calling them incriminating.
• AAP leaders call the case politically motivated and a distraction, while BJP leaders welcome the raids as corroboration of alleged corruption, with the probe ongoing and no adjudication reported.
