ED Attaches Ex-Health Official's Assets in Bhopal
The Directorate of Enforcement (ED) has taken action against a former health official in Bhopal, Dr. Amarnath Mittal, and his wife, Alka Mittal.
They have attached properties worth Rs 9.79 crore because the official had more assets than he should have based on his income.
The ED found that Dr. Mittal had assets and expenses that were much higher than his lawful income.
This includes properties bought and sold using unaccounted money.
The investigation is still ongoing to find out more details.
The ED provisionally attached properties worth Rs 9.79 crore belonging to Dr. Amarnath Mittal and his wife.
The action was taken under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) 2002.
The attached properties include residential and agricultural land, and long-term capital gain bonds.
Dr. Mittal's lawful income was around Rs 60 lakh, but he acquired assets and incurred expenses totaling approximately Rs 2.98 crore.
The ED found that Dr. Mittal used unaccounted cash, unexplained deposits, and layered financial transactions to acquire properties.
