Punjab CM Charanjit Singh Channi

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Tuesday raided multiple locations in poll-bound Punjab as part of a money laundering probe against companies involved in illegal sand mining in the border state, officials said.

Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi's nephew was among several others raided today by the Enforcement Directorate.

Channi's nephew Bhupinder Singh Honey's home and 10 other places in Punjab were searched early this morning.

The ED said at least 10-12 locations in the state are being covered by the officials of the federal agency and the action is being undertaken under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

The state is poll-bound with voting slated to take place for its 117 assembly seats on February 20.
