ED Raids AAP Leader Saurabh Bharadwaj's Residence In Hospital Construction Scam Probe | Read

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) today conducted raids at Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Saurabh Bharadwaj's residence in the national capital for an alleged "scam" in constructing hospitals during his tenure as the Delhi health minister. The probe agency is raiding at least 13 locations in Delhi. According to sources, the hospital construction scam is allegedly worth approximately Rs 5,590 crore. In 2018-2019, the AAP-led Delhi government approved projects worth Rs 5,590 crore for the construction of 24 hospitals. The ICU hospital was supposed to be completed in six months, but even after three years, the work remained incomplete. Despite spending Rs 800 crore, only 50 per cent of the work has been completed, sources said.
