On October 17, 2023, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) carried out extensive search operations at eight locations across the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) and Pathankot, Punjab. These operations were conducted under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002, as part of an ongoing investigation related to the RB Educational Trust, Jammu, Ajay Singh, the then DC Kathua, and other Revenue officers and officials.
The searches encompassed various locations spread across the districts of Jammu, Kathua in J&K, and Pathankot in Punjab. During the search operations, the ED unearthed a plethora of incriminating documents, including property records, Power of Attorney documents, digital devices, and miscellaneous papers. These items have been seized for further scrutiny as part of the investigation.
The ED’s actions underscore its commitment to combating money laundering and financial irregularities. Investigations into cases involving trusts, public officials, and educational institutions are a significant aspect of the agency’s efforts to ensure the transparency and legality of financial transactions. The seized documents and evidence will be closely examined as the investigation progresses to uncover any potential financial improprieties.
