Fresh claims by the Enforcement Directorate have added new layers to the ongoing probe into I-PAC, with investigators pointing to financial trails, document recovery and possible data tampering.
The ED's Special Task Force provisionally attached Anil Ambani’s Pali Hill Residential property ‘Abode’ in Mumbai, worth Rs 3,716.83 crores, under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 (PMLA).
The ED stated that an amount higher than the contract value was deposited in Jayasurya’s account and alleged that the money constituted proceeds of crime generated through fraud by the company’s owners.
According to the ED’s Lucknow Zonal Office, these properties were originally purchased for about Rs 158.85 crore, but their current market value has increased several times.
The ED initiated investigation against the company based in Sirmour, Himachal Pradesh based on a case registered by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in Jammu against Vidit Healthcare (and its Managing Partner, Neeraj Bhatia), Niket Kansal, and others.
The arrest comes amid an ongoing NIA investigation into the university’s alleged links to the Red Fort bomb blast and the “white-collar” terror module busted earlier by the Jammu and Kashmir Police.
The properties were held in the name of various trusts and that of its political front, the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI).
This follows an investigation by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), which had issued a Red Corner Notice against him. The ED's Gurugram Zonal Office is handling the matter.
The ED investigation stems from multiple FIRs registered by various state police agencies against the illegal offshore betting platform 1xBet.
