Probe agency Enforcement Directorate conducted a raid at AAP Delhi unit chief and former health minister of Delhi government on Tuesday, August 26. The raid on the ex-Delhi minister’s place has been conducted over an alleged ‘scam’ in constructing hospitals across the capital. 

While slamming the opposition party, Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva in a video statement said that "the AAP government in Delhi was involved in the 'scam' in the construction of hospitals and purchase of medicines and equipment. An investigation into the "scam" in the purchase of medicines is already being conducted by the Anti-Corruption Bureau, as cited by news agency PTI. 

As reported by news agency PTI, probe agency Enforcement Directorate (ED) is searching the premises of Bharadwaj and some private contractors as part of a money laundering probe. The investigation agency concerns that the ex-Delhi minister and his allies have been linked to an alleged scam in health infrastructure projects during the previous AAP government in Delhi.
