The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government of Punjab has got a vigilance raid done at the house of its own MLA Raman Arora from Jalandhar Central.
AAP MLA Raman Arora has reportedly been arrested by the Punjab Vigilance Bureau (VB) while visiting a temple.
As per available information, the MLA is accused of sending notices to people through Jalandhar Municipal Corporation. Then he got the notices quashed by taking money. The arrest is linked to a corruption case involving former Assistant Town Planner (ATP) of the Municipal Corporation, Sukhdev Vashisht, who was arrested last week.
Punjab’s AAP MLA in vigilance net, arrested by law enforcement agency. Arora is the third AAP MLA facing VB action for corruption in three years. His arrest comes exactly three years after the VB arrested former health minister and Mansa MLA Dr Vijay Singla for corruption on May 24, 2022. Bathinda Rural AAP MLA Amit Rattan Kotfatta was caught in a corruption case on February 23, 2023.
Though VB officials were tightlipped, the AAP posted the development on X: “(Bhagwant) Mann sarkar’s big action against corruption. No one is above the law — not even within the AAP. Vigilance raids MLA Raman Arora over fake Nagar Nigam notices, extortion and digital scams. This is what real accountability looks like.”
More details are awaited.
