Chandigarh, October 9 (Daily Kiran) : The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has achieved a significant breakthrough in the HS Bhullar bribery case. Following the arrest of middleman Krishna, the agency secured an eight-day remand to conduct further investigations.
During this period, the ED plans to question Krishna regarding alleged bribery and money laundering activities linked to the case. Investigators are focusing on financial transactions associated with the purported bribe, its utilization, and other related financial aspects. The ED hopes that this inquiry will yield critical information pertinent to the ongoing investigation.
In a related development, the ED’s actions extend to Mumbai, where they have taken measures against an international drug trafficking ring linked to fugitive don Dawood Ibrahim. Two individuals, Praveen alias Nagesh Ramchandra Shinde and Brijesh Kanjibhai Moradiya, were arrested under Section 19 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002.
This investigation was initiated based on several FIRs filed by various law enforcement agencies in Mumbai concerning the illegal trafficking of narcotics and psychotropic substances involving Salim Dola and others. The ED’s statement revealed that an organized international criminal network is involved in activities such as the procurement of chemical substances, clandestine manufacturing of mephedrone (MD), interstate transportation and distribution of drugs, and laundering proceeds through hawala channels.
The investigation has uncovered that Praveen alias Nagesh Ramchandra Shinde was engaged in the illegal production of MD and related activities, including the operation, possession, and movement of funds derived from the sale of this narcotic.
