The Enforcement Directorate (ED) raids continued at 12 locations in Mohali till late on Friday evening.
The ED teams camped at the ninth floor flat of Nitin Gohal at Western Towers in Kharar and Phase-4 house of Pritpal Singh Dhindsa throughout the day. Dhindsa is a prominent businessman of Mohali, having business interests in electrical works, an industrial unit, and real estate business.
Local businessmen said Dhindsa per se was not associated with any political party but was well-connected with every party. “Earlier, he used to back the Congress when it was in power. He was close friends with a former minister, having supported him during Assembly elections. Of late, he had developed inclination towards the ruling AAP," a businessman said.
Till the filing of report at 11 pm, ED officials were still inside the Kharar flat and the Phase-4 house with the key suspects under sleuths’ gaze. CRPF personnel were guarding the stairway and the main entrance of the premises.
