Financial crime investigations in India

Overview

Law enforcement agencies in India have conducted significant operations targeting alleged money laundering and financial irregularities.

In West Bengal, police seized assets valued at approximately Rs 220 crore belonging to absconding stone quarry owner Tulu Mondal, also known as Mohammad Nazibuddin. The seizure includes cash, gold, and roughly 125 acres of land. Investigators are also examining allegations of tax evasion through the use of fake carbon copies at quarries and potential collusion with state officials. Authorities are pursuing an Interpol Red Corner Notice for Mondal.

Separately, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted raids at seven locations across Delhi, West Bengal, and Jharkhand linked to Trinamool Congress MP Nadimul Haque. The investigation, conducted under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, focuses on Akhbar-E-Mashriq Pvt Ltd, an Urdu newspaper directed by Haque. Authorities are examining digital devices and bank transactions to investigate allegations of illegal transactions, unaccounted cash, and the publication of material promoting communal disharmony.
