The420.in reports ED attached about ₹4 crore in Mumbai extortion case

What happened

According to The420.in, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) Mumbai Zonal Office provisionally attached movable and immovable assets valued at approximately ₹4 crore in an ongoing money laundering case concerning Aslam Abdul Rehman Patni and others. The outlet says the agency announced this on Thursday and that the order was issued under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002. The420.in This advisory rests on that single outlet. No ED statement or court record was among the sources, so the details below are not independently verified.

The420.in says the attachment covers bank balances held by the accused and an immovable property called Lambat Building, currently registered in the name of Shazia Salim Iqbal Qureshi. It reports that the case stems from a First Information Report lodged at Dadar Police Station and later investigated by the Anti-Extortion Cell of the Mumbai Police Crime Branch. The420.in

The420.in attributes the forgery allegations to what it calls official findings and to investigators, in the context of the police complaint, not to the ED. According to the outlet, investigators said Shabbir Ahmed Hassan Karolia and Yusuf Ahmed Hassen Karolia, with other co-conspirators, impersonated the original proprietors and used fabricated documents, including a forged deed of conveyance. The outlet separately says ED officials established that in 2019 Patni acquired a 50 percent share in Lambat Building, and that Patni allegedly forced the co-owners out with threats invoking the names of D-Company, Dawood Ibrahim and Salim Iqbal Qureshi alias Salim Fruit. It reports that the property was then moved to Salim Fruit’s wife, and that the agency is continuing inquiries into the laundering network. The420.in
