AAP MLA Jaswant Singh Arrested by ED in Bank Fraud case
Jaswant Singh Gajjan Majra, aam aadmi party (AAP) mla from Punjab, was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with a Rs 40 crore bank fraud case. The arrest came hours after he was picked up by the probe agency officials from Amargarh in Malerkotla district in the morning when he was addressing an AAP workers’ meeting regarding ED Summons to party supremo Arvind Kejriwal. The AAP mla reportedly was summoned by the probe agency at least thrice but he skipped all the summons. The AAP has lashed out at the bjp for a plot to defame the party.The latest action comes after raids by the cbi in May 2022 and the ED in september 2022 at his Amargarh house and various other premises connected to Gajjanmajra. After the raids by the ED, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) conducted separate raids and claimed to have recovered Rs 16.57 lakh in cash, some foreign currency notes, property documents, several bank accounts and other incriminating documents. Meanwhile, kejriwal chaired a meeting of AAP MLAs to reportedly discuss the actions by central probe agencies against ministers and leaders of the party on Monday.The agenda of the meeting was not immediately known but the sources said the party discussed the strategy if ED arrests Kejriwal. “The way the atmosphere is, very soon we all will be going to jail, the kind of preparations PM Modi is doing, the rest of the cabinet colleagues along with cm will be going to jail. Maybe Atishi will be in jail number 1, I will be in jail 2 and someone else will be in jail 3 so we will get together for cabinet meetings. We will hold meetings and decisions will be taken and those MLAs who will be outside jail, they will implement them,” said AAP leader Saurabh Bhardwaj.
