In a dramatic nationwide operation, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) raided more than 15 locations across six states in connection with a major drug trafficking-linked money laundering case. The raids were conducted under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), with sources revealing that suspects were being tracked for months before today’s coordinated action.

The states under the radar include Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Maharashtra - regions with a rising pattern of drug-related criminal activity. Properties, financial records, digital evidence, and large sums of unaccounted cash have reportedly been seized during the operation.

Officials say the crackdown is part of a broader effort to dismantle illegal narcotics syndicates operating through money laundering channels and shell companies. There are indications of links to international networks, and more arrests are expected.

The ED has not issued an official statement yet, but this high-impact operation has sparked national attention - and the investigation is still unfolding.
