ED officials also visited company offices in Delhi and Gurugram.
“Officials from the Enforcement Directorate today visited two of our offices in Delhi and Gurugram and the residence of our Executive Chairman Dr Pawan Munjal. We continue to extend all cooperation to the agency,” Hero MotoCorp informed the stock exchanges.
