Some people in a town called Dahod made fake government offices and tricked people.

A special team called the Enforcement Directorate, which checks for hidden illegal money, started looking into the case.

The team found a man named Abubakar Jakirali Saiyad and his family and friends were involved.

They took control of things the accused people owned, like land, money in banks, and investments.

All of these things together are worth about 22.70 crore rupees, which is a very large amount of money.

The team did this so the accused cannot use the money while the case is being investigated.

The case began with a complaint filed at the Dahod Town police station.

The team's action is part of a law called the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
