Raid Finds Tons Of Cash At Kolkata Company, Counting Machines Active

A businessman’s properties in Kolkata were the target of a search operation by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), which resulted in the recovery of at least 17 crores. The ED has brought in cash-counting equipment to count the amount collected during the anti-money laundering agency’s raids at six locations in Kolkata, including one in the Garden Reach neighborhood.

Aamir Khan’s offices are still being searched, and cash is still being counted, according to ED officials, who claim that Khan is not working with the agency. Based on a case that the Kolkata Police had filed, the ED has started an inquiry into the mobile gambling app fraud.

Stacks of money notes, usually in the denomination of 500, are visible in images of the raids. There are also notes worth 2,000 and 200.

The investigation agency claimed that the raids were related to a mobile gambling program that had been defrauding users and that the money taken back was what the accused amassed via their deception of the general public.

According to a statement from the investigation agency, the accused, Aamir Khan, promotes the game app named “E-Nuggets.”

The case is related to a first information report, or FIR that the Kolkata Police filed in February 2021 against the business and its promoters.

The government is looking into any connections between this app and its operators and other “Chinese controlled” apps charging high-interest rates and locking borrowers in a cycle of debt.
