ED Attaches Rs 15-Crore Properties of OM India

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has attached 12 properties worth Rs 15 crore belonging to the Operation Mobilisation (OM India) Group of Charities.

This action is based on allegations of misappropriation of funds meant for the education of Dalit and marginalised children.

The ED's investigation revealed that the group collected regular fees from students despite claiming to provide free education.

The funds were allegedly diverted into private accounts, fixed deposits, and real estate transactions.

The investigation also found manipulation of student data to inflate the number of sponsored students and justify additional foreign donations.

Key figures involved include Dr Joseph D’Souza and his son Josh Lawrence D’Souza.
