ED Registers Money Laundering Case In 52 kg Gold Seizure Incident

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has officially entered the investigation into the high-profile case involving the seizure of 52 kilograms of gold and cash in Bhopal. This development intensifies the legal troubles of Saurabh Sharma, who was previously raided by the Lokayukta.

The ED registered a case against Saurabh Sharma and Chetan Singh Gaur under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). This comes after the recovery of 52 kilograms of gold biscuits from a vehicle during a Lokayukta raid. The ED’s involvement aims to trace the financial trail and uncover possible links to money laundering.

DRI Probes Gold Source

The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) has joined the investigation to identify the origin of the seized gold biscuits. Authorities suspect the involvement of a larger smuggling or financial mismanagement network, prompting a deeper probe into the case.

Questions Await Sharma And Family

Saurabh Sharma, who is currently in Dubai, is expected to face questioning upon his return. Investigative agencies, including the ED and DRI, are likely to extend the inquiry to his family to gather further evidence and clarify their role in the case.

Mounting Troubles For Sharma

The Lokayukta raid, which initially exposed the massive gold and cash seizure, marked the beginning of Sharma’s legal troubles. The ED’s case adds another layer of scrutiny, making it increasingly difficult for him to escape accountability.

With multiple agencies now involved, the investigation is set to reveal crucial details about the origins of the gold and the financial networks connected to the accused.
