Enforcement Directorate Conducts Raids on Businesses Linked to AAP MP Ashok Mittal

The Enforcement Directorate carried out raids on Wednesday (April 15, 2026) at business locations linked to Ashok Mittal in Punjab. These searches were part of an ongoing financial investigation.

Ashok Mittal is a 61-year-old businessman and educationist. He is the head of the Lovely Group, which runs several institutions, including Lovely Professional University.

Recently, Mittal was appointed as the deputy leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the Rajya Sabha. He took over this role from Raghav Chadha.

Officials have not yet shared full details about the investigation, but the raids suggest that authorities are looking into financial matters related to the businesses. Such actions are usually taken to collect evidence and check if any rules or laws have been broken.

The development has drawn attention because Mittal is both a well-known education leader and a senior political figure. More information is expected as the investigation continues.
