The Enforcement Directorate (ED) executed coordinated raids in Kolkata and Indore as part of its ongoing investigation into an alleged investment fraud that falls under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). In Kolkata, ED officials entered the offices of a company believed to be connected to the fraudulent investment scheme, seizing documents, computers and other evidence that could shed light on the alleged money‑laundering activity. A parallel operation in Indore targeted a different entity implicated in the same fraud, with ED officers collecting records and electronic media that may reveal how funds were moved and disguised. The raids underscore the authorities’ focus on tracing illicit financial flows and identifying the individuals who may have profited from the scheme. Following the seizures, investigators will analyze the collected material to determine the extent of the fraud, the parties involved, and any potential breaches of the PMLA, with further legal action anticipated if the evidence warrants prosecution.
