The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is set to take action against criminals in Bihar by seizing their illegal assets. The state government has sent details of 52 criminals to the ED for action under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The initiative is part of a wider effort to curb criminal activities in the state.
The ADG, Nayyar Hasnain Khan, confirmed that the process includes targeting Naxalites, criminals, and mafia figures, among others. The proposal involves seizing assets acquired through illegal means, encompassing those involved in activities like liquor smuggling, sand mining, cybercrime, land grabbing, and fraud.
