The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has detained luxury cars, bank lockers, Rs. 17 lakh cash, documents, and digital devices associated with Inderjit Singh Yadav, a wanted criminal based in Dubai. The search took place on 26 and 27 December. ED officials raided ten different spots in Delhi and Haryana, including areas in Gurugram and Rohtak.

Massive Search Operation Across Delhi and Haryana

The Enforcement Directorate led a huge crackdown on Inderjit Singh Yadav. The agency was investigating a serious money laundering case involving Yadav, his close partners, and firms like Apollo Green Energy Ltd. 

Official reports stated, "Inderjit Singh Yadav is wanted in various cases of the Haryana Police and is currently absconding and operating from the UAE." The raids aimed to stop forced loan payments, and officers worked hard to find links to foreign groups. This effort shows a strong push against hidden fugitives.

A new Extortion-as-a-Service model appears to be emerging, where large companies hire criminals to act as debt collectors. This replaces the legal way of handling bank debts. This signals a troubling shift, where organized crime becomes a tool of corporate finance. Such a trend is much more dangerous than simple money theft.

Seizure of High-Value Assets and Incriminating Data

The agency found many expensive items during the raids, including five luxury cars, private bank lockers, and Rs. 17 lakh in cash at the homes. Additionally, investigators took many phones and laptops for review. This shows how Yadav managed his money. He even built a website to settle debts illegally and help him manage his vast criminal network.

According to the federal agency, "The income so generated by Inderjit Singh Yadav from these fraudulent ways running into crores was allegedly used for acquisition of immovable and movable assets in India and abroad." This shows the scale of his wealth.
