Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders, including Chief Minister Atishi, claimed that Election Commission of India (ECI) officials and Delhi Police had raided Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s residence in Kapurthala House on Thursday.

Mann, who has been campaigning for AAP in the upcoming Delhi Assembly Elections, has a residence in Delhi’s Kapurthala House. The Election Commission team reportedly conducted a raid at Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann’s residence in Kapurthala House, Delhi, for a search operation.

“Delhi Police has reached to raid Bhagwant Mann ji’s house in Delhi. BJP people are distributing money, shoes, sheets in broad daylight – that is not visible. Instead they go to raid the residence of an elected Chief Minister. People of Delhi will give their answer on the 5th," said Atishi in a post on X.

दिल्ली पुलिस @BhagwantMann जी के दिल्ली के घर पर रेड करने पहुँच गई है।भाजपा वाले दिन दहाड़े पैसे, जूते, चद्दर बांट रहे हैं- वो नहीं दिखता। बल्कि एक चुने हुए मुख्यमंत्री के निवास पर रेड करने पहुँच जाते हैं।

वाह री भाजपा! दिल्ली वाले 5 तारीख़ को जवाब देंगे!

Meanwhile, the poll body has refuted reports of any raids at Kapurthala House. Sources told News18 that raids are conducted by investigation agencies and was not part of the ECI’s mandate. They said EC does not interfere in any kind of investigative procedure.
