ED begins procuring Bengal cases for PMLA probes

ED begins procuring Bengal cases for PMLA probes

There is a special police agency called the ED that looks for money people get from breaking the law.

It wants to check some old crime cases from a place called West Bengal.

These cases include selling illegal weapons, moving people against their will, selling drugs, and online crimes.

Criminals often move big amounts of money in secret ways, sometimes through something called Hawala.

The state police are now sharing information about these cases with the ED.

Earlier, the state government did not share much information, so the ED could not investigate.

Now, the new state government wants the two agencies to work together.

The ED is also looking into other problems like a recruitment scam, coal smuggling, and cow smuggling.

The government hopes this teamwork will bring hidden black money back into the system.
