The central agency had launched raids against the former legislator Dilbag Singh, and Congress MLA from Sonipat Surender Panwar on January 4 as part of a money laundering case linked to alleged illegal mining in Haryana's Yamunanagar district.
The money laundering case stems from several FIRs registered by Haryana Police to probe alleged illegal mining of boulders, gravel and sand that took place in the past in Yamunanagar and nearby districts even after the lease expiry period and court's order.
Around 20 locations of the two politicians and linked entities in Yamunanagar, Sonipat, Mohali, Faridabad, Chandigarh and Karnal were covered during the raids conducted under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
4-5 kg of gold and documents pertaining to assets in India and abroad have been recovered from the premises linked to Singh and his associates.
The ED teams were escorted by armed personnel of central paramilitary forces.
