The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted raids on premises associated with Samajwadi Party MLA Irfan Solanki and his family members in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, as part of a money laundering investigation. Solanki, a four-time MLA from Sisamau, has been incarcerated since December 2022 in connection with various criminal cases. The raids are being carried out under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), following allegations against Solanki and his brother Rizwan of harassing a woman and attempting to seize her property by setting her house on fire. They surrendered to the police, leading to charges under the UP Gangsters and Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act.
