The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) alleged today that the Election Commission conducted a raid at the Delhi residence of Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. This claim followed an incident where the Delhi Police seized a private vehicle with a Punjab government sticker and registration near Punjab Bhawan.

The vehicle reportedly contained liquor, Rs 10 lakh in cash, and AAP election materials, leading the Delhi Police to register a case.

AAP denied any connection to the vehicle, stating it neither belongs to nor is rented by the Punjab government, calling the incident a “planted stunt.”

However, media reports indicate the Election Commission has refuted AAP’s claims of conducting a raid at the Chief Minister’s residence.
