New Delhi, April 2 The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted fresh searches at several premises linked to executives of the political consultancy firm I-PAC and others in multiple cities on Thursday, officials said.
The raids are being conducted at locations in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Delhi in connection with an alleged coal smuggling and pilferage scam in West Bengal, according to officials.
The premises of I-PAC co-founder and director Rishi Raj Singh are among those covered, they said.
The federal investigation agency conducted raids in this case in January at the I-PAC office as well as at the Kolkata residence of its founder and one of the directors, Pratik Gandhi.
Singh and Jain were recently summoned by the ED to record their statements.
They have approached the Delhi High Court to quash these notices issued to them, citing ongoing election work in West Bengal and Tamil Nadu.
