Chandigarh: The family and close associates of AAP MLA Raman Arora, who was arrested by the Vigilance Bureau on corruption charges, are now also under investigation.
A lookout notice has been issued against Arora’s son Rajan Arora, associate Kurdam Raju Madan, and close aide Mahesh Makhija.
According to officials, Rajan Arora allegedly facilitated public dealings on behalf of his father, while Kurdam and Mahesh were actively involved in supporting the operations.
The Vigilance Bureau claimed to have recovered substantial evidence pointing to their involvement, prompting raids to track down and arrest the three.
In connection with the same case, ATP Sukhdev Vashisht, earlier arrested on corruption charges, was sent to 14-day judicial custody on Sunday.
During the investigation, officials uncovered multiple layers of the alleged corruption network, eventually leading to MLA Raman Arora’s arrest.
Sources said that during questioning, the Vigilance Bureau found that Arora had used code words to avoid detection and delay any legal action.
