ED Attaches Assets of Dr. Bansal in Drug Diversion Case
Imagine a doctor named Dr. Bansal who had 22 drug treatment centers.
He is accused of selling a medicine called BNX, which helps people with drug addiction, to people who weren't supposed to have it.
The government thinks he made money illegally by doing this.
Now, the government is looking into his finances.
They've frozen some of his money and seized some properties.
They are investigating how he sold the drugs and where the money went.
The case started with the police, but now the ED, which investigates financial crimes, is in charge.
The ED provisionally attached 15 immovable properties worth Rs 8.93 crore belonging to Dr. Amit Bansal and his family.
The attachment is linked to the alleged illegal sale of BNX drugs by 22 private de-addiction centers in Punjab.
Dr. Bansal is accused of misusing Adnoc-N, a drug for opioid addiction, by selling it to unregistered users.
The ED had previously frozen Rs 21 crore in bank accounts belonging to Dr. Bansal and his family.
The ED took over the case from the Punjab Vigilance Bureau, which had arrested Dr. Bansal.
