Overview

  • The ED has registered a Prevention of Money Laundering Act case after finding more than ₹100 crore in alleged foreign remittances to around 40 linked bank accounts.
  • Probes in Maharashtra target proxy land deals in Pune and Lonavala that may conceal benami property acquisitions worth crores.
  • The UP ATS has extended custody of Jalaluddin alias Chhangur Baba and Neetu Rohera for seven days following on-site interrogations and document seizures.
  • Bulldozers demolished sections of the Balrampur estate earlier this week as teams retrieved vital records that could reveal the network’s conversion tactics and financial flows.
  • Officials say further arrests and asset confiscations are expected as the multi-agency operation under the UP unlawful conversion law advances.
