ED lawyer told about this list
Delhi government minister Saurabh Bhardwaj shared a list of names of lawyers on social media (X), alleging that BJP and ED are working together. He posted on X that, 'In the Sanjay Singh case, the name of BJP candidate and its spokesperson Bansuri Swaraj is included among the lawyers of ED. I had said only yesterday that BJP and ED are one and the same. However, it was the ED lawyer who disclosed the matter. ED counsel Zohaib Hasan drew the attention of Justice Sanjiv Khanna's bench to the fact that Bansuri's name was mistakenly written in the list of lawyers. The court has asked to correct this unintentional mistake and upload the order again. Bansuri Swaraj was a lawyer in the Central Government panel. Sources said he withdrew his name from the panel on March 7 when the BJP named him as its Lok Sabha candidate. On March 15, he also got approval from the Central Government.
Bansuri Swaraj will not be named in the new order
Apart from this, sources further said that the names of old lawyers are running in the court. Due to this, his name has been kept in the list of advocates. However, now that the Central Government lawyers have informed the court and the court order is also being modified, the name of Bansuri Swaraj will not be there in the new uploading order. During the hearing on Sanjay Singh's petition, Bansuri Swaraj, daughter of former External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, was not present on behalf of the investigating agency.

The list shared by Saurabh Bhardwaj included Bansuri Swaraj's names as ED counsel along with Suniltar V Raju, Mukesh Kumar Maroria, Zoheb Hasan, Annam Venkatesh, Kanu Agarwal and Arkaj Kumar. The Aam Aadmi Party has long been accusing the investigating agency of working for the government. In such a situation, a new controversy has arisen after seeing the name of flute in the list.
