AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested two alleged masterminds, G Ram Chandra Mohan and Akash Malviya, for fraudulently selling properties linked to trusts of the late spiritual guru Mahesh Yogi in a multi‑crore land‑grab scheme. The duo forged land deeds, powers of attorney, board resolutions and authorization letters to unlawfully sell prime trust properties worth hundreds of crores, using forged documents to pose as authorized officials of the Spiritual Regeneration Movement Foundation (SRMF). The arrests followed extensive raids in Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, and the ED has frozen bank accounts and assets of Singhvahini Infra Projects Pvt Ltd and its directors for alleged complicity. The Supreme Court had earlier directed the Uttar Pradesh government to set up a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the case.

Times of India | Supreme Court to hear ED plea to cancel bail to West Bengal coal scam 'kingpin'

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Supreme Court on Tuesday agreed to hear the Enforcement Directorate’s plea to cancel the anticipatory bail granted to Anup Majee, alleged kingpin in a West Bengal coal‑smuggling case in which roughly ₹2,700 crore of national resources were allegedly plundered. A bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta issued notice to Majee but postponed an early hearing, listing the matter for September, allowing him to remain on bail until then. The ED argued that Majee had previously absconded and that his accountant remains missing, while Majee’s counsel said he had cooperated, appearing before the agency 23 times, including 13 times without protection from arrest. The probe could expose a money‑laundering trail involving purported payoffs of over ₹1,300 crore to senior Trinamool Congress officials, with a recovered diary allegedly recording payments to “Pankaj da” (₹10 crore installments) and “Bankura IC,” who allegedly delivered cash cartons on behalf of party leaders.
