The Enforcement Directorate recovered handwritten records naming individuals, amounts handled and spent, along with details of a fund transferred to Dubai, during a May 27 search of premises linked to Veena and CMRL promoters.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted searches on May 27, 2026 at premises associated with Veena and the promoters of the Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL). During the operation, officials seized a set of handwritten notes that appear to document a financial transaction involving a transfer of funds to Dubai.
The recovered documents list the names of several individuals, the amounts they handled, and the expenditures made, in addition to specifying the exact sum sent to Dubai. The notes are described as detailed records of the flow of money, suggesting an organized effort to move funds abroad.
ED officials have not disclosed the total value of the Dubai transfer, but the seizure indicates a focus on potential money‑laundering or illicit financial activity. The agency has indicated that the investigation remains ongoing and that further legal action may follow based on the evidence gathered.
No comment was obtained from Veena or the CMRL promoters at the time of reporting, and the case is expected to develop as the ED examines the seized material.
