What happened
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) claimed that searches conducted in the Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA) revealed senior leaders Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain were holding unofficial meetings with officials of the Punjab government authority. These meetings took place at a house in Sector 39, Chandigarh, which was officially allotted to Sunny Singh Ahluwalia, an AAP leader and chairman of the Punjab Water Supply and Sewerage Board. The ED alleges that senior GMADA officials carried files outside the main office for these informal discussions.

Why it matters
The ED alleges that the meetings concerned land development, land acquisition, and fresh auctions under GMADA's purview. The findings suggest that key decisions regarding these matters were informally made under instructions from Satyendar Jain. The ED further alleges that the property was used by Jain to influence GMADA affairs for personal gain and loss.
