Several UP Police FIRs are the source of the money laundering case. The ED had stated in October that the company, its promoters, and connected accused—Rashid Naseem, Asif Naseem, Amitabh Kumar Srivastava, and Meera Srivastava—had “cheated” people by enticing them to invest in a number of profitable schemes the company had put out.
Up until now, assets in this case have been attached for a total value of over Rs 128 crore.
