ED Raids 37 Locations in Delhi Over Rs 20 Billion Classroom Scam

19 Jun 2025 CW Team

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted raids at 37 locations across Delhi on 18 June as part of a money laundering investigation centred on the alleged classroom construction scam dating back to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) administration. The probe focuses on inflated construction costs and financial irregularities in government school building projects totalling Rs 20 billion during FY 2015–16 to 2022–23. Senior AAP figures, including former ministers Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain, face scrutiny.

The investigation was launched after the Delhi Anti-corruption Bureau (ACB) filed a First Information Report (FIR), which the ED subsequently registered under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The raids targeted private premises linked to the alleged scam that involved the construction of more than 12,000 classrooms.

Both Sisodia, the former finance and education minister, and Jain, previously responsible for public works, have received summonses and undergone questioning in connection with the probe.

The ED’s actions carry significant political and legal consequences, highlighting its focus on accountability and transparency in public infrastructure projects. The ongoing investigation will determine whether further charges or asset seizures are required under the PMLA.
