Overview

• The Enforcement Directorate said searches under PMLA Section 17 are tied to an ECIR linked to ACB FIR No. 37/2025 and span locations in Delhi-NCR, including offices on KG Marg and West Patel Nagar.
• Teams covered the residence of Saurabh Bharadwaj and premises of private contractors and developers to trace evidence of alleged diversion and laundering of public funds, with operations continuing at last report.
• ACB allegations involve 24 projects worth about ₹5,590 crore that suffered delays and large cost escalations, including an ICU facility package reportedly 50% complete after nearly ₹800 crore spent and the LNJP new block’s rise from ₹488 crore to ₹1,135 crore.
• AAP leaders denounced the action as politically motivated and argued the case period predates Bharadwaj’s ministerial tenure, calling the allegations false and a diversion from unrelated controversies.
• BJP leaders welcomed the raids, saying the exercise supports long-standing claims of corruption in the previous Delhi government’s health infrastructure program.
