Enforcement Directorate raids against fake call centres in Delhi duping U.S. citizens
Three premises in Khanpur were raided around 10:30 p.m. on Thursday (July 31, 2025) and the searches are still going on, they said.
The action is being undertaken as per the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
Preliminary investigation suggests, the sources said, that a call centre was being operated by some persons who misled citizens in countries like the U.S. by pitching "fictitious or pirated" software under the name of original software like Microsoft Windows.
The agency suspects that funds worth ₹100 crore have been received as foreign remittances over the past few years (2016-17 to 2024-25).

Anil Ambani's Multi-Crore Fraud Case: What Probe Agency May Ask Him Today
Reliance Group chairman Anil Ambani is being questioned at the probe agency Enforcement Directorate's office in New Delhi today in connection with money laundering charges linked to alleged bank loan frauds worth Rs 17,000 crore. The probe agency issued the summons to Mr Ambani after three days of scouring through the records of 50 companies and interviewing over 25 people. The summons to appear before the probe agency was issued on August 1. According to sources, Mr Ambani is not allowed to have a lawyer present with him during the questioning - which will be recorded on camera. Here is the list of questions that the probe agency may be asking Mr Ambani today: Which companies took loans in the last 10 years? What was the financial condition of the companies? Were the loans used for sanctioned purposes? Did the companies furnish correct information? Were loans diverted to shell companies? Did you default on loans deliberately? Were fraud bills circulated by your companies? Did banks or any other organisation file audit reports? Were you part of any conspiracy? Did you influence people to be part of the fraud? Transactions were made with which foreign companies? Did you bribe any government official? Were funds transferred after the NSA was declared? Were funds transferred to political parties? Why was a fraudulent bank guarantee given? How were loans disbursed before approval? Why did you pay bank officials after loan disbursal? Anil Ambani and the multi-crore fraud The action against Mr Ambani pertains to alleged financial irregularities and collective loan "diversion" pegged at more than Rs 17,000 crore by his multiple group companies, including Reliance Infrastructure (R Infra). The first allegation concerns the "illegal" loan diversion of around Rs 3,000 crore, given by the Yes Bank to Mr Ambani's group companies between 2017 and 2019. The second allegation includes a similar fraud - but much larger - of over Rs 14,000 crore, allegedly committed by Reliance Communications. The investigation also flagged instances of loans being issued to companies with poor or unverified financial sources, use of common directors and addresses, lack of essential documentation, routing of funds to shell entities, and instances of 'loan evergreening'. According to sources, the initial inquiry shows some loans were approved and released on the same day the application was made, while others were transferred even before 'approval'. Following this, the probe agency launched raids on July 24 as part of the alleged bank loan fraud-linked money laundering case, apart from multiple other allegations of financial irregularities with crores of rupees by certain companies. The searches, conducted under provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), were held in Delhi and Mumbai for at least three days. The first arrest in the case was made last week. Partha Sarathi Biswal, the managing director of Biswal Tradelink Pvt Ltd, was arrested on August 1 under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002, for submitting fake guarantees worth Rs 68.2 crore, sources said. These guarantees, they said, were arranged on behalf of Reliance Power.

Assam: ED raids against former IAS officer in DA case
Guwahati: The Enforcement Directorate on Tuesday carried out searches at premises connected with retired IAS officer Sewali Devi Sharma in a disproportionate assets case, an official source said. The agency has raided at least eight premises connected with Sharma, a former executive chairman-cum-director of the Assam State Council of Educational Research and Training. The money laundering case stems from an FIR filed by the state police on the directions of the Assam CM's Special Vigilance Cell. Sharma was earlier chargesheeted by police for alleged possession of disproportionate assets worth Rs 5.7 crore. The former bureaucrat could not be contacted immediately for a comment on the ED action. Sharma, according to sources, served as the Executive Chairman-cum-Director of Open and Distance Learning Cell (ODL) of the SCERT and was responsible for the implementation of the National Council for Teacher Education's (NCTE) two-year Diploma in Elementary Education programme. The state government had earlier approved the creation of 59 institutions and the training of 27,897 teachers. Sharma is alleged to have opened 347 study centres and enrolled 1,06,828 trainees to "collect more funds." Sharma, the sources claimed, opened five bank accounts for the ODL Cell, where she was the "sole signatory," in "violation" of the Assam Financial Responsibility and Budget Management Act of 2005. Of the Rs 115 crore she received in fees from individuals, she allegedly spent more than Rs 105 crore without obtaining financial sanction from the state government, sources alleged. The expenditure was incurred for supplies and execution of works without following the rules and procedures, and payments were released without complete supply of materials, and no work was done, they claimed. These contracts, as per ED's probe, were given to entities owned or controlled by associates or family members (son-in-law, daughter) of Sharma as well as to a chartered accountant, Sarang More, who was the auditor of the ODL Cell. The contracts were awarded "without" advertisements or invitations for tenders, as stipulated by the government for each procurement of above Rs 5 lakh, sources alleged. Except for two parties, none had any experience to execute work orders awarded to them, and payments were made without the required receipts or verification of actual supply, the ED claimed.

Anil Ambani appears before ED in PMLA case linked to alleged loan fraud
Reliance Group Chairman Anil Ambani on Tuesday appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in Delhi for questioning in an alleged ₹17,000-crore loan fraud case. On August 1, the ED issued a Look Out Circular (LOC) against Anil Ambani to stop him from leaving the country while the investigation is ongoing. An LOC is typically issued to ensure that individuals under probe are available for questioning and do not flee abroad. What is the loan fraud case against Anil Ambani? Anil Ambani, 66, has been summoned as part of a money laundering probe linked to his group companies. The case involves alleged diversion of loans worth over ₹10,000 crore — some reports peg the total closer to ₹17,000 crore. His statement will be recorded under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). Between July 24 and 26, the ED conducted raids at more than 35 locations across Mumbai and Delhi. These raids targeted over 50 companies and 25 individuals connected to the Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group (RAAGA). One of the main concerns is about loans worth ₹3,000 crore disbursed by Yes Bank between 2017 and 2019, which is believed to have been siphoned off to shell companies and non-genuine entities. Several of these companies reportedly shared the same addresses and directors. How did Reliance Group respond? Reacting to the reports, a Reliance Group spokesperson claimed the reported ₹10,000 crore diversion figure is exaggerated. "Reliance Infrastructure publicly disclosed this matter on February 9, 2025, and Sebi did not make any independent discovery," the company said. It added, 'Reliance Infra had an exposure of ₹6,500 crore. The allegation that the diverted amount is ₹10,000 crore only serves to sensationalise the magnitude and is not based on facts.' The company also said it is trying to recover the dues. 'Through mandatory mediation proceedings conducted by a retired Supreme Court judge and filed before the Bombay High Court, Reliance Infra arrived at a settlement to recover its entire exposure of ₹6,500 crore,' the spokesperson added. Multiple agencies, wider allegations The probe draws from two CBI FIRs, and inputs from Sebi, the National Housing Bank, National Financial Reporting Authority (NFRA), and Bank of Baroda. A source earlier told Business Standard that the case involves forged documents, backdated approvals, and possible bribes to Yes Bank officials. Loans were allegedly disbursed in haste without proper checks. Other group entities under ED's scanner Reliance Infrastructure and Reliance Power issued statements after the raids, saying there would be no financial or operational impact. They clarified that Anil Ambani holds no board position in these firms. The transactions in question involve Reliance Communications (RCOM) and Reliance Home Finance Ltd (RHFL), which are under separate resolution proceedings. Reliance Infra is also being examined for allegedly moving large sums through an undisclosed entity called 'C Company'. Meanwhile, RHFL is accused of issuing unsecured loans without proper documentation. Just before the ED raids, the State Bank of India informed Parliament it had declared Anil Ambani and Reliance Communications as "fraud" entities and is preparing to file a case with the CBI.
