Raids were conducted simultaneously at four locations in Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra. The operation was kept highly confidential, and now the central agency has released a statement providing details of the raids.

Detailed Report

The ED’s investigation revealed that contractors paid substantial bribes and illegal commissions to officials and political figures, ranging from 25% to 40% of the contract value. The cash used for bribe payments was generated through housing entries made by vendors.

Searches of entry providers and their patrons uncovered various incriminating details, multiple fake ownership entities, and a large amount of cash. As a result of the search and seizure operation, ₹76.5 lakh in cash was confiscated; 8 bank accounts related to entry provider firms, holding approximately ₹35 lakh, were frozen. Various tickets, other incriminating documents, and digital devices related to dummy firms were also seized.
