Delhi Elections 2025: Police Raids Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann's Delhi Residence, Claims Chief Minister Atishi

As the Delhi Assembly polls approach, allegations and counter-allegations from political parties in the Union Territory have intensified. Delhi Chief Minister Atishi, in a social media post, made a sensational claim stating that the Delhi Police had reached Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann's residence in Delhi to conduct a raid.

Attacking the BJP over the alleged incident, she said, "The BJP people are openly distributing money, shoes, and blankets in broad daylight—that doesn't get noticed. Instead, they rush to raid the residence of an elected Chief Minister."

"Wow, BJP! The people of Delhi will give their answer on the 5th (election day)!" she added.

Atishi's post claiming a raid at Bhagwant Mann's residence comes amid reports of massive security deployment outside Kapurthala House, the official residence of Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann in Delhi.

Shortly after Atishi's post, Returning Officer OP Pandey told media outside Mann's residence, "We have got a complaint about money distribution. We have to dispose of the complaint in 100 minutes. Our FST had come here which was not allowed to enter. I have come here to request them to let us enter along with a cameraperson. The complaint of money distribution was received on the cVIGIL app."

Notably, the police yesterday seized a large amount of cash and liquor have been seized from a car with a "Punjab government" sticker in Delhi. According to reports, AAP pamphlets were also found in the car.

Earlier today, while speaking to news agency ANI, Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit stated, "I wrote a letter to the LG about 25 days ago, informing him about Punjab-registered vehicles and Punjab Police bringing large amounts of money into Delhi. Today, that claim has been proven true. There is also information that Punjab Bhawan is being used as an office for the AAP. The police should raid Punjab Bhawan and investigate what is hidden inside its rooms."
