The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted searches at 16 locations in Kolkata, Delhi, and Bengaluru as part of an investigation into McNally Bharat Engineering Company Limited (MBECL). The probe focuses on alleged violations of the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) regarding the source and movement of funds used to acquire control of the company. 

Authorities are also investigating whether the insolvency resolution process was manipulated to allow individuals who may be ineligible under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code to regain indirect control of MBECL. The searches included premises linked to Sanjay Pasari, who operates in the coal and mining sector, along with other connected entities and individuals.
