The Enforcement Directorate (ED) announced on Monday the attachment of assets valued at more than Rs 10 crore. These belong to a former vice-chancellor and others from Rajiv Gandhi Proudyogiki Vishwavidyalaya in a money laundering case.

The provisional order, executed under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, targets former university officials, including ex-vice-chancellor Sunil Kumar and ex-registrar Rakesh Singh Rajput, among others. According to the ED's statement, the total value of the assets attached amounts to Rs 10.77 crore.

This investigation originates from a Bhopal Police FIR regarding alleged fund misappropriation at the university. Officials reportedly diverted Rs 20 crore for personal gain by investing in properties, fixed deposits, mutual funds, and jewelry.
