Enforcement Directorate officials raided the homes of a former transport department official and a businessman in Chennai over money laundering allegations.
Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials conducted raids at two locations in Chennai yesterday regarding allegations of illegal money laundering.
The raids targeted the residence of Dharanidharan, a retired Deputy Commissioner of the Transport Department residing in Teynampet, following allegations of amassing wealth disproportionate to his income. While the case was already under investigation, the ED has now initiated proceedings under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
Simultaneously, a raid was carried out at the residence of Murugesan, a businessman in Tiruvottiyur. ED officials from Hyderabad participated in the operation, suspecting a link to the money laundering case. Authorities stated that details regarding the seized documents would be released after the review is complete.
