Illegal infiltration: ED raids in Jharkhand, West Bengal
NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: In a significant development, the Enforcement Directorate has launched raids in multiple locations across Jharkhand and West Bengal. This move comes as part of a money laundering investigation tied to suspected illegal infiltration of Bangladeshi nationals, officials confirmed on Tuesday.
The federal agency targeted 17 sites in the two neighboring states. A case was filed under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) last month to explore infiltration and trafficking allegations. This includes the generation of slush funds, with investigations stemming from a FIR by Jharkhand Police, rooted in an incident of trafficking of Bangladeshi women.
Political leaders including Prime Minister Modi have publicly accused the Jharkhand government of fostering such illegal activities for electoral advantage, thus altering the tribal region's demographics. The ongoing developments coincide with the upcoming Assembly polls, where infiltration has become a central issue among campaign rhetoric.
