ED Raids Kerala Trust Over Foreign Fund Violations
A charity in Kerala is being investigated because it received a large amount of money from a company in another country.
The money was given as loans, but there weren't any proper agreements or repayment plans.
Also, the charity wasn't allowed to receive money from abroad because it wasn't registered, and it used some of the money to buy land.
The government is looking into this because the charity might have broken rules about foreign funds and how they should be used.
ED searched locations in Kasaragod, Kerala, on July 31st.
The Kunhahmed Musliyar Memorial Trust is under investigation for FEMA violations.
The trust allegedly received over Rs 220 crore in unsecured loans from a UAE-based company.
The Trust is not registered under FCRA and lacks permission to receive foreign funds.
Part of the foreign contribution was used to purchase land, violating regulations.
