New Delhi, July 16: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday carried out searches at around 13 locations across four states as part of an investigation into an alleged terror funding and illegal infiltration network linked to a case registered by the Uttar Pradesh Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS).
The searches are based on an FIR filed by the UP ATS, which alleges that Rohingya and Bangladeshi nationals were illegally brought into India through an organised network.
According to the investigation, the alleged network helped infiltrators obtain identity documents in different parts of the country, enabling them to settle illegally.
Investigators are also examining allegations that funds were routed from abroad to sustain the network. The probe is focusing on suspected financial transactions involving certain charitable trusts and individuals.
Officials suspect that cash was distributed to beneficiaries and that multiple small value transactions were used to facilitate the alleged operations.
The searches are part of the ED’s ongoing investigation under the provisions of anti money laundering laws. Further details are expected as the investigation progresses.
