The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Tuesday conducted searches at multiple locations across Delhi, Haryana and Goa as part of its investigation into an alleged ₹155.21 crore money laundering case.

According to officials, the searches were carried out under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) following inputs gathered during the course of the investigation. The agency is examining the alleged movement and utilization of funds suspected to be linked to criminal activities.

Sources familiar with the probe said the raids targeted premises associated with individuals and entities believed to have connections to the case. Investigators are scrutinizing financial records, digital devices, bank transactions and other documents that could help establish the money trail.

The ED's action is part of a broader effort to uncover the alleged proceeds of crime and identify beneficiaries involved in the suspected laundering network. Officials are also examining whether funds were routed through multiple entities to conceal their origin and ownership.

During the searches, the agency reportedly collected documents and electronic evidence that will be analyzed further as part of the investigation. The exact nature of the alleged offence that generated the proceeds of crime has not been publicly detailed by authorities.

Money laundering investigations typically involve tracing assets acquired through unlawful means and determining whether they were integrated into the formal financial system through complex transactions. The ED frequently works alongside other law enforcement and regulatory agencies in such cases.

The agency has not yet disclosed the names of all individuals or organizations under scrutiny. Officials indicated that further action, including questioning of suspects and examination of financial records, may follow based on the evidence gathered during the searches.

The case is the latest in a series of high-value financial investigations undertaken by the ED as it continues efforts to tackle economic offences and financial fraud across the country.
