On Thursday, September 17, 2026, the Enforcement Directorate conducted searches of the residence, farmhouse, and office of former Haryana Minister Gopal Kanda in Gurugram. The raids were part of a money laundering investigation related to an alleged real estate fraud involving Vatika Limited, a realty company. According to officials, the investigation focused on four projects where Vatika had allegedly collected ₹248.46 crore from 661 investors, promising timely possession, assured returns, lease rentals, and execution of sale deeds.
However, the investors have not received possession or executed sale deeds to date. The ED suspects that funds from Vatika were diverted and transferred to various companies connected to Kanda.
