ED Raids Infrastructure Firm, Seizes Rs 120 Crore in Bank Fraud
Imagine a company took a big loan from banks to build a road, but instead of building the road, they moved the money around.
The government's Enforcement Directorate (ED), which investigates financial crimes, found out.
They raided the company, SEW Infrastructure, and others, and seized money and property worth a lot of money (Rs.
120 crore).
They also froze some bank accounts.
The ED believes the company and its partners took money that was meant for building the road and used it for other things, leading to a loss for the banks because the road wasn't finished.
ED raided SEW Infrastructure and Prasad and Company, seizing assets.
The raids were conducted in relation to a bank fraud case.
Investigations followed an FIR against SEW LSY Highways Limited for siphoning funds.
Loan funds were allegedly diverted through sub-contracting to group entities.
Rs.120 crore in assets were seized and 33 bank accounts were frozen.
