PTI, Jul 15, 2022, 12:56 PM IST
The Enforcement Directorate on Friday said it has frozen bank deposits with about Rs 95 crore after it raided multiple premises of the West Bengal-based Rashmi group of companies as part of a money laundering investigation.
The ED is probing the company and its promoters in a case related to the loss of Rs 73.40 crore to the public exchequer by ”deliberate mis-declaring the facts and mis-utilizing the dual freight policy of the Indian Railways to avail wrongful benefits of the lower tariff of freight for transportation of iron ore”, the agency said in a statement.
The searches were carried out on July 13 at 3 places in West Bengal, it said. The money laundering case stems from a CBI FIR against the Rashmi group of companies. These include Rashmi Cement Ltd and Rashmi Metalik Ltd. ”As a result of the search operation, Rs 64.97 crore lying in the bank account of the companies has been frozen,” the ED said.
