The Enforcement Directorate (ED) announced on Friday that it has conducted searches in a money laundering case involving Abhijata Constructions Company Private Limited and its directors.

The searches were carried out at Abhijata Constructions' office and the homes of its directors, Abhijit Sen and Sujata Sen, in Kolkata. Incriminating papers, including several electronic devices, were recovered and seized during search operations, said the Enforcement Directorate.

On the basis of several First Information Reports (FIRs) filed by Kolkata Police against Abhijata Construction and its directors under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), 1860 in response to complaints from various buyers alleging non-delivery of homes despite receiving full payment, the federal agency launched a money-laundering investigation.

The Directorate claimed that "the corporation and its directors allegedly transferred such cash for some other purpose or for their personal advantage."
