<h1>Searches conducted in money laundering probe of minister under PMLA sections for disproportionate assets</h1> Central agencies conducted searches on premises linked to a state minister and a senior party leader as part of a money laundering investigation related to disproportionate assets allegedly amassed between 2006 and 2010. The probe follows a high court order directing a special court to frame charges and expedite trial proceedings. The minister and family members face allegations of accumulating wealth disproportionate to known income sources. The ruling party claims these actions are politically motivated, accusing the government of weaponizing investigative agencies against opposition members. Other senior party figures are also under investigation for separate corruption-related allegations. The party maintains its resolve against what it describes as intimidation tactics through these investigations.
