ED Conducts Raids Across Punjab, UP and Delhi-NCR in Hampton Sky Realty Money Laundering Case

June 9, 2026 : The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Tuesday carried out search operations at six locations across Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Delhi-NCR in connection with an ongoing money laundering investigation involving Hampton Sky Realty Limited.

The searches are being conducted at premises in Ludhiana and Jalandhar in Punjab, Bareilly in Uttar Pradesh, and the Delhi-Noida region. According to ED officials, both residential and commercial properties linked to individuals and entities associated with Hampton Sky Realty Limited are being covered under the operation. Further details are awaited.

The case is reportedly linked to Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and Punjab Minister Sanjeev Arora. The ED has alleged that its investigation uncovered a large-scale money laundering network involving entities connected to Arora.

According to the agency, fake GST purchase transactions of mobile phones worth more than ₹100 crore were allegedly created and subsequently used for exports to facilitate the round-tripping of illicit funds from Dubai to India. The ED further claimed that multiple fake GST purchase invoices were procured from non-existent firms based in Delhi to fraudulently avail input tax credit, claim GST refunds on exports, and secure duty drawback benefits.

The agency alleges that these activities caused significant losses to the government exchequer while generating unlawful gains for the accused persons and entities involved.
