The Enforcement Directorate conducted searches at 14 locations, focusing on jewellery dealers, as part of a money‑laundering investigation into a Rs 645 crore fund scam in Haryana.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has carried out coordinated raids at 14 premises across Haryana, targeting jewellery merchants suspected of facilitating money‑laundering activities linked to a large‑scale fund scam. The operation is part of a broader probe into the alleged diversion of approximately Rs 645 crore intended for state development schemes.
According to the agency, the suspected network used jewellery transactions to obscure the source and movement of illicit funds, prompting a focused investigation on the sector. ED officials seized financial records, jewellery stock and related documents during the searches, though no arrests have been reported so far.
Authorities said the probe remains ongoing and that further action, including possible prosecutions, will depend on the evidence gathered. The Haryana government has not commented publicly on the specifics of the raid, but reiterated its commitment to transparency in the handling of public funds.
