New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Friday launched fresh search operations in Punjab and Haryana as part of its money laundering probe linked to the Dunky Route case, which involves illegal Indian immigrants deported by the US this year.
According to official sources, the raids are being carried out at seven locations under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) in Mansa (Punjab) and Kurukshetra and Karnal (Haryana).
The latest searches are based on credible inputs collected during the first round of raids conducted at 11 locations in the two states on July 9, the sources said.
Following the July 9 searches, the central probe agency said it had recovered 30 genuine passports and obtained the names of several agents and immigration agencies allegedly involved in running the “dunky route” racket to illegally send Indians abroad on a large scale.
