The Enforcement Directorate launched a series of raids across Mumbai on Wednesday, intensifying a money laundering investigation tied to an alleged drug trafficking network, according to officials.
The operation aimed to uncover financial trails associated with a sophisticated drug syndicate linked to individuals named Faisal Javed Shaikh and Alfiya Faisal Shaikh.
The agency executed searches at eight locations in the city under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), seeking leads on financial gains sourced from illicit drug sales.
Officials revealed that Faisal Shaikh was procuring the stimulant drug MD (mephedrone), commonly known as 'meow meow', from Salim Dola, a notorious drug kingpin.
The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has announced a reward for credible information leading to Dola's arrest, in an effort to dismantle the widespread drug network he allegedly controls.
