The Enforcement Directorate (ED) carried out a major operation in Jharkhand's Dhanbad district, conducting coordinated raids at more than 25 locations as part of an investigation into an alleged illegal coal trade and money laundering network.
During the searches, the agency recovered approximately ₹1.5 crore in cash and identified assets and bank balances worth over ₹150 crore. The raids were launched following intelligence inputs regarding suspected financial irregularities linked to the illegal coal business.
According to preliminary reports, the seizure is among the largest recoveries made by the Enforcement Directorate in Jharkhand so far. Officials are currently examining financial records, documents, and other evidence collected during the operation. The investigation is ongoing, and further action is expected based on the findings of the probe.
