AAP MLA Raman Arora, former Congress MLA Kikki Dhillon appear before ED for second time

Aam Aadmi Party MLA Raman Arora of Jalandhar Central and former Congress MLA Kushaldeep Singh Dhillon, also known as Kikki Dhillon, appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday for a second round of questioning in separate money laundering investigations.

According to information available from the proceedings, both leaders were asked to provide additional documents related to family-owned properties, financial transactions and bank accounts. During their previous appearance last week, they had submitted income tax returns and other financial records sought by investigators.

Arora is being questioned in connection with a case registered by the Punjab Vigilance Bureau in May 2025. The case alleges corruption and collusion involving officials in the Municipal Corporation's building branch. The ED is examining financial aspects linked to the allegations under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

Dhillon, meanwhile, is facing scrutiny in relation to a Vigilance Bureau case registered in 2023 alleging possession of assets disproportionate to known sources of income. The ED investigation is focused on the financial transactions connected to that case.

Neither the ED nor the individuals involved publicly disclosed details of Thursday's questioning. The investigations remain ongoing, and no new enforcement action was announced at the time of publication.
