NEW DELHI, Dec 31— The Enforcement Directorate seized more than Rs 13 crore in cash and jewellery during searches at a south Delhi residence linked to a money-laundering investigation involving Haryana-based absconding criminal Inderjit Singh Yadav, officials said Wednesday.
The federal agency recovered Rs 5.12 crore in cash and a suitcase containing gold and diamond jewellery valued at Rs 8.8 crore from a house in Sarvapriya Vihar. Investigators also seized documents linked to assets worth about Rs 35 crore, according to officials.
The premises are linked to Aman Kumar, described by the ED as an associate of Yadav. Searches that began Tuesday were continuing, officials said.
“Bank officials with currency-counting machines were called in on Wednesday morning to quantify the seized cash,” an official said.
The ED said the case is part of a money-laundering probe stemming from multiple criminal cases registered in Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. Yadav is accused of generating illegal proceeds through extortion, coercive loan settlements and commissions from private financiers.
Neither Yadav nor Kumar could be reached for comment.
The agency had earlier conducted searches on Dec. 26 and 27 at 10 locations in Delhi, Gurugram and Rohtak, seizing five luxury vehicles, Rs 17 lakh in cash and freezing several bank lockers.
