The investigation found that contractor firms, along with IMC officials, siphoned off ₹103.62 crore.

The ED had previously attached 43 properties worth ₹33.65 crore in July 2025.

With the latest attachment, the total value of attached properties is now ₹37.14 crore.

The ED has also seized and frozen assets worth ₹22.04 crore.

Three individuals, Abhay Singh Rathore, Mohd.
