The investigation started after the Special Vigilance Unit filed an FIR in 2017. The agency found that the officer had taken money through corrupt practices during his postings in Sasaram, Benipur, Gopalganj, Siwan, and Patna. He also deposited part of the illegal money into the bank accounts of family members. Some funds were hidden with the help of relatives and shown as gifts.

These illegal earnings were later invested in property, deposits, KVPs, NSCs, and mutual funds. The total value of all assets is estimated at more than ₹1.52 crore. The investigation is still going on.

According to the ED, financial scrutiny revealed a sophisticated supply chain linking Mizoram-based operatives to Gujarat firms, including Krishiv Enterprises, which allegedly supplied pseudoephedrine tablets and caffeine anhydrous valued at ₹4.54 crore in 2024–25. These chemicals—key precursors for methamphetamine—were allegedly routed to entities linked to Henry Lalbiakzinga, Laltluangzela, and Benjamin Lalawmpuai.

Investigators found that habitual offenders, including Abu Saleh Saif Uddin from Assam and Mizoram residents Zodinthara and Lalrampari, facilitated smuggling operations and hawala transactions. The ED also detected ties between Mizoram firms and Kolkata-based shell companies such as Mahasin Tradecom, managed by a suspect named Mohd. Zafar.

The probe uncovered a deeper cross-border nexus, where Myanmar nationals reportedly misused Indian GST identities to purchase chemical precursors. These substances were transported to Myanmar through the porous border and converted into methamphetamine tablets before being smuggled back into India, mainly through Mizoram.

ED officials reported suspicious financial activity, including ₹11 crore in credits in accounts linked to Abu Saleh and ₹52.8 crore in accounts connected to hawala operator Lalrampari. During the raids, officials seized ₹46.7 lakh in cash, along with digital records and documents. Twenty-one bank accounts suspected of holding proceeds of crime have been frozen under Section 17(1A) of PMLA.

The investigation is ongoing and is expected to uncover more links in the interstate and cross-border narcotics network.

According to officials, Patna-based contractor Rishu Shree arranged a Europe tour for the families of IAS officers Yogesh Kumar Sagar and Abhilasha Sharma. In return, he allegedly received support in getting key government tenders. Sources say he even paid ₹9 lakh for gardening work at Abhilasha Sharma’s residence.

The Enforcement Directorate carried out raids at nine locations, including Ahmedabad, Surat, Gurugram, and Delhi. Officers recovered ₹3.3 million in cash, digital devices, diaries, and documents linked to the money laundering case.

This action follows a 2025 FIR filed by the Special Vigilance Unit (SVU) of Bihar. The SVU has now begun legal steps against both IAS officers. Investigators say Rishu Shree worked as a contractor and sub-contractor in several Bihar government departments. He also paid large commissions to officials to win contracts.

His name earlier surfaced during ED action against IAS officer Sanjeev Hans. The investigation is still continuing.

The attachment came after the Jammu division of the Narcotics Control Bureau registered a case against Vidit Healthcare, its managing partner Neeraj Bhatia, Niket Kansal, and others. Investigators found that the company diverted large quantities of codeine syrup to entities controlled by Niket Kansal between 2018 and 2024, amounting to transactions worth ₹16.74 crore.

The probe revealed that part of the diverted stock reached Srinagar resident Raees Ahmed Bhat, from whom the NCB seized a large quantity of CBCS in January 2024. ED officials stated that Vidit Healthcare earned an estimated ₹2.92 crore in profit from these illegal supplies.

Earlier, the ED searched the premises of Neeraj Bhatia and Niket Kansal, seizing ₹32 lakh in cash and jewellery worth ₹1.61 crore. ED Attaches Haryana Land in Cocrex Drug Misuse Case as the investigation continues to expand.

According to the ED, the operation included searches at 19 locations across Delhi, covering the premises of Al-Falah University and the residences of key personnel associated with the group. These searches were part of an ongoing probe into allegations that the Faridabad-based Al-Falah University obtained fraudulent accreditation through improper means.

Officials confirmed that incriminating documents, digital records, and financial trails were recovered during the searches, leading to Siddiqui’s arrest. The agency alleges that funds routed through the Al Falah Charitable Trust were manipulated and misused, violating money laundering norms.

The case stems from earlier complaints about suspicious financial transactions and questionable accreditation practices involving the university. The ED said Siddiqui will be produced before a special PMLA court, where further custody may be sought for interrogation.

The investigation continues as the ED examines the financial structure, records, and beneficiaries linked to the Al Falah Group.

Fernandez had earlier approached the Delhi High Court, seeking to dismiss the FIR against her. On July 3, 2025, the High Court declined her plea, stating that the trial court should examine the allegations. In response, Fernandez filed a special leave petition in the Supreme Court, scheduled for hearing on September 22, 2025.

The ED’s chargesheet, filed on August 17, 2022, claims that Fernandez received gifts worth ₹7 crore from Chandrashekhar, despite knowing about his criminal activities. Fernandez has strongly denied all accusations, asserting that she was unaware of Chandrashekhar’s alleged crimes and received the gifts without any illegal intent.

This case has drawn major attention in the media, raising questions about celebrity involvement in financial crimes and the enforcement of India’s anti-money laundering laws. Legal experts say the Supreme Court’s decision could set an important precedent for high-profile cases under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

As the case moves forward, both the legal community and the public await the Supreme Court ruling, which may clarify the responsibilities of celebrities in financial and criminal investigations.
