The Enforcement Directorate conducted multi-state searches on Friday as part of a money-laundering investigation linked to alleged illegal remittances worth crores of rupees from India to some foreign shores using shell companies, official sources said.

The case stems from a Customs department complaint against certain persons operating from Jaipur in Rajasthan.

The raids are being conducted in Jaipur, Udaipur, Ajmer, Mumbai, Surat and Noida, sources said.

The premises of some businessmen and linked persons are being searched as part of an investigation into alleged illegal remittances worth crores of rupees using shell or bogus companies, they said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
