The Enforcement Directorate on Thursday searched about 13 premises across Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Haryana and West Bengal in a money laundering investigation tied to an alleged terror funding and illegal infiltration network, officials said.
The case stems from a 2024 Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorist Squad FIR that identified an organised syndicate facilitating the illegal entry of Rohingya and Bangladeshi nationals into India, the officials said. The syndicate is suspected of arranging forged Indian identity documents and helping the migrants settle in various parts of the country.
The ATS probe uncovered a financial network involving charitable trusts and entities that received foreign contributions, the officials said. Investigators are looking into whether those funds were diverted through multiple bank accounts, mule accounts and layered transactions to support illegal activities. The probe also flagged cash withdrawals and small-value transfers to suspected beneficiaries.
