Jalandhar, August 10
The Enforcement Directorate teams today raided 14 locations across Chandigarh and Punjab under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) in the wrong mutation case of 1,295 acres of shamlat land of Seonk village of Mohali.
In November last year, the Vigilance Bureau had arrested the then naib tehsildar Varinderpal Singh Dhoot, patwari Iqbal Singh, property dealer Sham Lal, nambardar Gurnam Singh and two others in the case. The ED had lodged an Enforcement Case Information Report into the matter in March this year.
On Tuesday, the ED teams raided 14 sites, including Dhoot’s house in Chandigarh, two premises at Hoshirapur and his in-laws place in Ludhiana; and six other locations at Mohali, including those of patwari and property dealers.
The ED officials said some evidences had been recovered from all locations, which would help in following the money trail of the proceeds in the alleged crime. — TNS
