The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has intensified its investigation into Earth Infrastructures Ltd (EIL), conducting searches at 10 locations in Delhi and Gurgaon. The raids resulted in the seizure of ₹6.3 crore in cash, ₹7.5 crore worth of jewellery, silver bullion, and luxury watches as part of a money laundering probe. This investigation stems from multiple First Information Reports (FIRs) filed by the Delhi Police’s Economic Offences Wing (EOW) against EIL and its directors, alleging cheating, criminal breach of trust, and conspiracy under the Indian Penal Code. The ED's inquiry revealed that EIL and its affiliates collected approximately ₹2,024.45 crore from over 19,425 homebuyers across various projects in the Delhi-NCR region, including Gurgaon and Lucknow. Despite receiving substantial advances, many projects remain stalled, raising concerns about the diversion of funds for land acquisitions and personal deals. The key figures implicated in this investigation include Avdhesh Kumar Goel, Rajnish Mittal, Atul Gupta, and Vikas Gupta, with funds allegedly funneled through several associated companies for property transactions.
