These actions follow several FIRs previously filed by the Haryana Police concerning illicit mining activities in regions encompassing Yamunanagar, Sonipat, and nearby districts.
During the 2019 Assembly elections, Panwar contested on a Congress ticket from Sonipat and secured victory against BJP's Kavita Jain by a substantial margin of over 32,000 votes. In contrast, INLD's Singh narrowly lost to BJP's Ghanshyam Dass in Yamunanagar by a slim margin of over 1,400 votes.
Both Panwar and Singh were among the wealthiest candidates in Haryana during the 2019 Assembly polls. Panwar declared total assets worth Rs 27 crore, while Singh reported assets amounting to Rs 34 crore.
