The Enforcement Directorate (ED) raided 25 places in different states of India.
They were looking for people involved in selling drugs and laundering money.
The raids found a big network that was selling drugs like cocaine and hash across many states.
They also found out that the people involved were using different ways to send money and drugs, like through the internet and postal services.
The ED is still looking into how the money was being hidden and moved around.
