ED raids in Punjab: Weeks before Punjab Assembly elections 2022, the Enforcement Directorate on Tuesday conducted multiple raids in the state, including the premises of Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi's nephew, in connection with illegal sand mining.
Around 10 places were raided by Enforcement Directorate including Punjab CM Charanjit Singh Channi's nephew Bhupinder Singh Honey's home. Meanwhile, Punjab CM said that a "raid is being conducted (on the premises of his relative). They're targetting me and trying to put pressure on me in view of upcoming Assembly polls. This is not good for democracy. We're ready to fight this. The same thing happened during West Bengal elections."
