New Delhi, Jun 24: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted searches at multiple locations in Delhi in connection with the Mundra port drug import-linked money laundering case. The raids are part of the agency’s probe into financial transactions tied to the massive narcotics seizure at Mundra port.
Officials stated that the searches targeted premises of individuals and entities suspected of laundering proceeds of crime from the drug import racket. Documents, digital records, and evidence of layering transactions are being examined.
The case stems from the seizure of large quantities of heroin at Mundra port, which exposed an international smuggling network. The ED is investigating the money trail under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
Authorities emphasized that the crackdown aims to dismantle the financial backbone of drug cartels and trace cross-border links involved in the illicit trade.
