Aam Aadmi Party MLA Jarnail Singh Arrested by ED under PMLA

In a significant development, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Monday arrested Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Jarnail Singh from Amargarh, Punjab, under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The 60-year-old legislator was apprehended in connection with alleged financial irregularities filed against him last year. This action by the investigative agency came as a surprise, as Singh was attending a public meeting at the time of his arrest.

The ED’s action against Singh is part of its ongoing investigation into a money laundering case involving the AAP MLA. The case is related to allegations of misappropriation of funds during Singh’s tenure as a member of the Punjab Legislative Assembly.

Singh’s arrest has sent shockwaves through the AAP, which has been facing a series of allegations of corruption in recent months. The party has denied any wrongdoing by its members and has accused the ED of acting at the behest of the Central government.

Singh’s arrest is likely to further damage the AAP’s image, especially in Punjab, where the party is in power. It is also likely to put pressure on the AAP leadership to address the growing concerns about corruption within the party.
