NEW DELHI: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) announced on Tuesday that it had seized fake Aadhaar cards , passports, illegal weapons, and property documents in connection with an investigation into illegal infiltration from Bangladesh in poll bound Jharkhand and West Bengal.
Earlier in the day, the ED conducted raids across multiple sites in Jharkhand and West Bengal, examining money laundering activities tied to suspected unlawful entry of Bangladeshi nationals .
The ED's Jharkhand office is reportedly examining 17 locations across these neighboring states. The agency launched this probe under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) in September to investigate the alleged trafficking of Bangladeshi women into Jharkhand, which allegedly generated illicit funds.
During recent election campaigns, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other BJP leaders accused the state government of "letting" such infiltration, impacting the demographic balance in the tribal areas of Santhal Pargana and Kolhan.
The Assembly elections are set to take place in two phases: voting for 43 seats will occur on Wednesday, followed by polling for 38 seats on November 20.
The ED's Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR), filed under various PMLA provisions, is linked to a prior FIR registered by Jharkhand Police at Ranchi's Bariyatu police station in June.
