The Enforcement Directorate (ED) in India has conducted searches at properties belonging to high-profile individuals connected to gangster-turned-politician, Atiq Ahmed, and seized approximately Rs 17.80 lakh ($24,110) of cash alongside documents linked to property sales and purchases. The searches took place across ten premises in Lucknow, Prayagraj, and Delhi back on June 14th and 15th. The ED launched the investigations after receiving a complaint from the CBI regarding Ahmed and his associates, who stand accused of kidnapping, extortion, and assault. Ahmed has a long history of involvement in organized crime; it was revealed during the ED investigation that 100 FIRs related to crimes including murder, land grabbing, and extortion had been lodged against him in various police stations. The ED release noted that Ahmed has accumulated considerable wealth in his name, those of his associates and family members, largely through criminal activities and the usurping of properties. The ED is still investigating the matter, and no further details have been released at the time of writing.
