Overview

  • On July 23, the ED provisionally attached shares valued at ₹127.33 crore in Alchemist Hospital and Ojas Hospital under PMLA provisions.
  • The attached equity stakes are held by Sorus Agritech Private Ltd, a company beneficially owned by Karan Deep Singh, son of former MP Kanwar Deep Singh.
  • Investigators allege that funds raised through alleged Ponzi-style collective investment schemes were layered through Alchemist Group entities and diverted into hospital projects.
  • The case originated from FIRs filed by Kolkata Police and the CBI and has yielded two chargesheets alongside earlier provisional attachments totaling ₹238.42 crore.
  • Former two-term TMC Rajya Sabha MP Kanwar Deep Singh was arrested in January 2021 and remains subject to ongoing asset-tracing and recovery efforts.
