The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has intensified its investigations across multiple states in India, conducting raids in connection with various alleged scams. In West Bengal, the ED executed searches at 10 locations, including the residence of rice mill owner Barik Biswas, a close aide of former Trinamool Congress (TMC) minister Jyotipriya Mallick, as part of an investigation into an alleged ration distribution scam. Additionally, TMC block president Anisur Rahman and his brother were arrested in connection with the same case. In Himachal Pradesh, the ED raided multiple hospitals linked to a scam involving the Ayushman Bharat scheme, targeting 19 locations across Delhi, Chandigarh, Punjab, and Himachal Pradesh, with allegations of fraudulent claims amounting to approximately ₹40.68 lakh. The agency also conducted searches in Maharashtra related to a bank loan fraud case. Furthermore, Bharat Bhushan Ashu, a former Punjab minister and Congress party leader, was arrested for his alleged involvement in a money-laundering case concerning a tender scam. He was presented in court and granted a five-day remand for further questioning. The ED's actions reflect a broad crackdown on corruption and financial misconduct in various sectors.
