The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is conducting search operations at five locations in Delhi in connection with a money laundering case linked to the 3,000-kilogram Mundra port drug import case.
ED officials said that the searches are being conducted at premises linked to Harpreet Singh Talwar, Shamshudern and their associates. The officials added that the drug money was allegedly invested in nightclubs in Delhi.
Harpreet Singh Talwar had earlier been arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in the same case and was recently released on bail. Further investigation is underway.
Around five premises located in the national capital are being covered by the central agency, including those of Delhi-based businessman Harpreet Singh Talwar alias Kabir Talwar and some others, under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), the ED officials said.
Talwar, who ran popular nightclubs in Delhi, was arrested by the National Investigation Agency in the drugs haul case in August 2022 and he recently came out of prison after he was granted bail by the Gujarat High Court.
