The Directorate of Enforcement (ED) conducted extensive search operations on January 19 and 20, 2024, at 22 locations in Ahmedabad, Delhi, Surat, and Mehsana. The raids were part of a money laundering investigation under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002, targeting key conspirators Bobby alias Bharatbhai Patel, Charanjit Singh, and others involved in an illegal foreign immigration case.
The ED's probe, initiated based on two FIRs filed by Gujarat Police, uncovered a scheme where individuals were sent abroad illegally since 2015, with the accused allegedly using bogus documents to secure visas. The agency revealed that substantial amounts were charged from passengers, ranging from Rs 60 to 75 lakh for an individual to Rs 1.25 to 1.75 crore for families, including children. The search operations yielded cash totaling Rs. 1.5 crore and foreign currencies equivalent to Rs. 21 lakh, along with incriminating digital and documentary evidence.
