Enforcement Directorate (ED) has received further information about 32 additional bank accounts held by Chhangur and some more of his affiliates. In this context, the ED has sought information from relevant banks for the transactions pertaining to these accounts for the past 10 years.
Money was being transferred to these bank accounts from overseas. ED will acquire information concerning the transactions of money deposited in these accounts within a day or two.
Based on the information available, so far ED has been able to identify and investigate booked transactions of Rs 100 crore through over 40 bank accounts operated by Jalaluddin alias Changur, who has been arrested on charges of conversion, and other his associates.
Large amounts of money were sent to these bank accounts from Dubai which Changur used for conversion and property purchases. For all the properties bought by Changur's gang, money was sent from Dubai to the accounts of Nasreen Neetu Rohra alias Nasreen.
Naveen Rohra’s accounts, ed has not yet begun to look into. Since all of Naveen’s bank accounts are in Dubai, ED’s investigation into this matter may be delayed.
In order to examine Naveen’s bank accounts, ED is reaching out to the Indian Embassy in Dubai via the Ministry of External Affairs. However, this, too, has the potential to be time-consuming. This investigation will not advance any further until the Dubai authorities consent to furnishing the information pertaining to the bank accounts.
On the other hand, ED's suspected accounts concerning Changur and Neetu are also deemed an important component of the case. The ED team is waiting for the police custody remand over Changur and Neetu to end. After the remand period concludes, ED officials will question both of them in relation to the money laundering charges.
