Times of India | ED attaches Rs 1,000 cr assets in C’garh liquor scam AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) in Raipur has attached assets worth more than ₹1,000 crore in connection with a large‑scale liquor scam in Chhattisgarh, alleging that a syndicate led by businessman Anwar Dhebar and retired IAS officer Anil Tuteja manipulated the state’s excise system between 2019 and 2023 to generate criminal proceeds exceeding ₹2,883 crore. The racket reportedly inflated liquor procurement rates, produced unaccounted liquor and extracted commissions through favoured FL‑10A licences, with Vikas Agrawal acting as the syndicate’s ground‑level financial manager. ED’s provisional attachment orders have seized numerous benami immovable properties in Raipur, a premium hotel in Anjuna, Goa (valued at roughly ₹110 crore), and bank accounts, shares and mutual funds of three licence‑holding companies that were forced to remit 50‑60 % of their profits (about ₹51 crore) to the syndicate. A sixth supplementary prosecution complaint has named four additional accused, raising the total number of alleged conspirators to 85.

Times of India | Kerala high court reserves order on CMRL plea against ED probe linked to Pinarayi Vijayan's daughter Veena's firm AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The Kerala High Court on Monday set aside its decision on the CMRL case for a Friday hearing, after Cochin Minerals and Rutile Ltd (CMRL) appealed a single‑bench order that had permitted the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to continue its investigation into alleged payments made by the company to Veena T’s firm – the daughter of former chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan. The court instructed the ED to keep the status‑quo on the proceedings against CMRL and its officials until the Friday hearing. The probe stems from a tax‑board report that CMRL paid about ₹1.72 crore to Veena’s company between the 2017‑18 and 2019‑20 assessment years, payments that were deemed not to qualify as business expenses. CMRL contended that the ED lacked jurisdiction because no complaint or FIR relating to a scheduled offence under the PMLA had been filed, but the single bench rejected this argument as premature, noting that the summons merely required appearance, statements and document production. In its appeal, CMRL argued that the investigation began before any scheduled offence was recorded and without identifying proceeds of crime, while the Additional Solicitor General countered that the summons were intended to gather material for possible PMLA proceedings and therefore could not be quashed.

Times of India | ED raids ex-Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan’s home in CMRL-linked money laundering case AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Enforcement Directorate agents raided former Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s residence on Wednesday as part of a money‑laundering probe into alleged payments of Rs 1.72 crore from Cochin Minerals & Rutile Ltd (CMRL) to Exalogic Solutions, a firm owned by his daughter T Veena, covering the period 2017‑2020. The raid follows a Kerala High Court order that dismissed CMRL’s petition challenging the investigation, stating that summons under the Prevention of Money‑Laundering Act can be issued without a prior FIR. Earlier findings by the Income‑Tax Interim Board and a Serious Fraud Investigation Office probe had raised questions about the legitimacy of those transactions, prompting the ED to summon CMRL officials in April 2024 and continue its inquiry.

Times of India | Supreme Court to hear ED plea to cancel bail to West Bengal coal scam 'kingpin' AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Supreme Court on Tuesday agreed to hear the Enforcement Directorate’s plea to cancel the anticipatory bail granted to Anup Majee, alleged kingpin in a West Bengal coal‑smuggling case in which roughly ₹2,700 crore of national resources were allegedly plundered. A bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta issued notice to Majee but postponed an early hearing, listing the matter for September, allowing him to remain on bail until then. The ED argued that Majee had previously absconded and that his accountant remains missing, while Majee’s counsel said he had cooperated, appearing before the agency 23 times, including 13 times without protection from arrest. The probe could expose a money‑laundering trail involving purported payoffs of over ₹1,300 crore to senior Trinamool Congress officials, with a recovered diary allegedly recording payments to “Pankaj da” (₹10 crore installments) and “Bankura IC,” who allegedly delivered cash cartons on behalf of party leaders.

Times of India | Delhi court denies bail to Al-Falah University chairman in PMLA case AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. A Delhi court on Saturday rejected the bail plea of Al‑Falah University chairman Jawad Ahmad Siddiqui in a money‑laundering case, with Additional Sessions Judge Sheetal Chaudhary Pradhan describing the accusations as “grave and serious.” The Enforcement Directorate, citing an Enforcement Directorate probe, alleged that Siddiqui’s group misled students by falsely claiming NAAC accreditation and UGC recognition, forged faculty records, and used charitable and educational institutions to generate and launder proceeds of crime estimated at ₹493.24 crore. The prosecution presented “tangible and credible evidence” linking Siddiqui to the diversion of funds through entities such as Amla Enterprises LLP, Karkun Constructions & Developers and Diyala Construction and Developers, with some money routed abroad. The court noted his “central role” in controlling day‑to‑day affairs, financial decisions and fund transfers via WhatsApp groups, and highlighted his involvement in other criminal matters, including alleged forgery, UAPA charges, and the Red Fort blast case. Concluding that prima‑facie evidence showed Siddiqui generated and laundered illicit proceeds, the judge dismissed the bail application.

Times of India | ED flags legal hurdles in money laundering probe AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) highlighted the legal obstacles hampering its money‑laundering investigations, noting a key controversy over whether a probe must wait for the conclusion of the related predicate‑offence trial or can proceed independently under international standards and Financial Action Task Force guidelines. While the Supreme Court has linked money‑laundering cases to the predicate offence, higher‑court rulings have treated them as standalone crimes, creating ambiguity that ED chief Rahul Navin says impedes its work despite a 94% conviction rate. He affirmed the agency’s resolve to pursue over 2,400 pending cases and seize proceeds of crime, with additional solicitor general S V Raju echoing that a predicate offence should not automatically halt investigations. The event also recognized ED officers involved in the Kolkata searches of political consultancy firm I‑PAC, which were disrupted by the state chief minister.

Times of India | CBI arresting only ADAG officials and not kingpin: Petitioner in Supreme Court AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. A public‑interest petition filed in the Supreme Court has urged the court to question why the CBI and Enforcement Directorate have only arrested mid‑level officials of the Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group (ADAG) in the probe of a alleged ₹40,000‑crore loan‑siphoning scheme, while the alleged mastermind remains untouched. After senior advocate Prashant Bhushan’s complaint, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta explained that the agencies need more time due to new facts uncovered, and submitted their status reports to a bench led by Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justice J Bagchi. The court, which had earlier expressed dissatisfaction with the agencies’ reluctance to act against ADAG companies, said it will consider the reports and issue further directions at the next hearing on May 8. Counsel for Anil Ambani, including Mukul Rohatgi and Kapil Sibal, argued that the group is ready to discuss settlements with banks and highlighted the broader issue of insolvency‑driven takeovers that harm creditors, while the judges stressed that big players should not escape accountability.
