ED Probes Money Laundering in Cough Syrup Scam

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is investigating a big scam where money from illegal cough syrup sales was used to buy fancy cars.

These cars have special number plates like 9777 and 1111.

The ED found that these cars were bought through fake companies and given to people involved in the scam.

They are also checking expensive houses and other items bought with this illegal money.

The ED has searched many places and found details about almost 189 fake companies used to hide the money.

They believe the cars were used to reward people and make the illegal money look legal.

If they find enough proof, more people might be charged with money laundering.
