The Enforcement Directorate (ED) announced on Friday that it had seized Rs 41 lakh in cash, 'incriminating' documents, and digital devices during a series of raids related to a money laundering investigation. The case is connected to alleged corruption in the augmentation of several Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) by the Delhi Jal Board (DJB).

The raids, which were initiated on July 3, took place in multiple locations including Delhi, Ahmedabad, Mumbai, and Hyderabad, according to an official statement from the ED.

The money laundering probe was initiated based on a First Information Report (FIR) by the Delhi government's anti-corruption branch (ACB). The FIR accuses a company named Euroteck Environmental Pvt Ltd. and others of orchestrating a scam involving the augmentation and upgradation of 10 Sewage Treatment Plants across various locations such as Pappankala, Nilothi, Najafgarh, Keshopur, Coronation Pillar, Narela, Rohini, and Kondli.
