The central agency had launched raids against the former legislator and Congress MLA from Sonipat Surender Panwar on January 4 as part of a money laundering case linked to alleged illegal mining in Haryana's Yamunanagar district.
About ₹5 crore cash, alleged "illegal" foreign-made weapons, around 300 cartridges, more than 100 liquor bottles, 4-5 kg of gold and documents pertaining to assets in India and abroad have been recovered from the premises linked to Mr. Singh and his associates, the sources said.
