Sukhpal Khaira Questions ED’s Action
On the other hand, Sukhpal Khaira has questioned the ED’s action through a social media post. He stated that he came to know through the media that the ED had attached his Chandigarh residence. He clarified that he had not received any official notice from the ED or any other government authority regarding this matter. He further added that if the news were true, he should have been informed directly instead of the media being notified first. Khaira termed this action as nothing but a conspiracy to tarnish his image, alleging that the BJP is misusing the ED to target opposition leaders across the country.
It is noteworthy that the ED has attached Sukhpal Khaira’s Chandigarh bungalow, valued at ₹3.82 crore. Reports suggest that this action has been taken in connection with a suspected drug trafficking case. Allegations have been made against Khaira regarding financial dealings with drug trafficker Gurdev Singh.
