ED Files Multiple PMLA Prosecutions and Attaches Rs 112.9 Crore Including Texas House

The moves aim to freeze alleged proceeds so courts can rule on confiscation, permitting deeper cross‑border tracing of funds.

Overview

  • The Enforcement Directorate between July 6–7 filed fresh prosecution complaints and provisional attachment orders under the PMLA in several cases to preserve alleged proceeds while investigations continue.
  • The agency provisionally attached about Rs 112.90 crore of movable and immovable assets linked to an alleged Rs 376 crore bank fraud by LEEL Electricals promoters, including a jointly owned residential property in Houston, Texas.
  • In separate actions the ED filed a PMLA charge sheet against former Alirajpur district excise officer Dharmendra Singh Bhadauria, identifying proceeds of crime worth Rs 18.20 crore and confirming earlier provisional attachments.
  • The ED filed a prosecution complaint against former NCL chairman Bhola Singh that quantifies proceeds at Rs 2.79 crore and records provisional attachment of gold and a Ranchi flat.
  • The agency also provisionally attached Rs 3.15 crore in assets of ex‑NTPC AGM Rakesh Kumar Upadhyay and filed a supplementary complaint in the Patna Medical College procurement case that adds about Rs 3.01 crore of alleged proceeds to an existing probe.
