Jammu, Aug 22: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Friday carried out multiple searches in Jammu and Udhampur as part of a money laundering probe into alleged grabbing of custodian land, official sources said.
At least nine locations in Jammu and one in Udhampur were searched under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The premises linked to Patwari rank officials Pranav Dev Singh and Rahul Kai, Naib Tehsildar Akeel Ahmed, and others were covered in connection with the case.
The probe relates to alleged corruption and illegal transfer of custodian land — property belonging to evacuees from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir — in Jammu since 2022.
The money laundering case stems from an FIR earlier registered by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (Central) of Jammu and Kashmir Police. (Agencies)
