ED Raids SP MLA Irfan Solanki’s Kanpur & Mumbai Residences In Money Laundering Investigation

Kanpur: The Enforcement Directorate searched the residences of Samajwadi Party MLA Irfan Solanki and his family members in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, on Thursday as part of a money laundering probe, according to government sources. Solanki (44) is a four-time MLA from the Sisamau assembly constituency who is now imprisoned at Maharajganj.
According to reports, about five premises of Solanki, his incarcerated brother Rizwan, Shaukat Ali, Haji Wasi, Noori Shaukat, and others in Kanpur, as well as locations in Mumbai, Maharashtra, were searched early this morning, accompanied by a security escort of Central Reserve Police Force jawans.
According to them, action is being taken after the ED filed a criminal case against Solanki and others under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) in response to various FIRs lodged against them by the Uttar Pradesh Police.
The SP MLA, headed by former Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, has been detained in Maharajganj prison since December 2022 in connection with a number of criminal offenses.
Police had previously detained Solanki and Rizwan for allegedly harassing a woman and setting fire to her house in order to take her plot. They eventually turned themselves in to the police. Police charged Solanki, Rizwan, and three others under the Uttar Pradesh Gangsters and Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act.
