In a significant development, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has attached assets worth over Rs 47 crore in connection with a money laundering case in Rajasthan. Those affected include Congress leader and former minister Mahesh Joshi, among other individuals, the ED announced on Friday.
The agency has issued a provisional attachment order under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) for properties linked to Padamchand Jain, Mahesh Mittal, Sanjay Badaya, Mahesh Joshi, Vishal Saxena, and their associated firms. The assets include agricultural land and residential properties.
