A massive Enforcement Directorate crackdown in Punjab took a dramatic turn after bags allegedly filled with cash were reportedly thrown from a ninth-floor apartment during a raid in Mohali’s Kharar area. Sources claim around ₹21 lakh was recovered after bundles of ₹500 notes were found scattered across the residential complex, triggering chaos and panic among residents. The ED conducted simultaneous searches at multiple locations in Mohali, Chandigarh and Patiala as part of a money laundering and builder fraud investigation linked to alleged illegal licences and financial irregularities. Sources also claimed that individuals under scanner were allegedly connected to influential political circles, though no official confirmation has been issued so far. The high-voltage ED operation has now sparked massive political buzz across Punjab.
