LUCK: The Directorate of Enforcement said on Wednesday that it had found evidence that at least 100 million rupees in Hawala money had been sent to Uttar Pradesh to trigger a caste and communal conflict in the name of seeking justice for the girl Hathras. Of this, 50 million rupees came from Mauritius, ED sources said.
Emergency Department officials are tracking down some suspects and analyzing data from the “Justice for Hathras” blacklist website to determine if it was used as a gateway for foreign funding. The accounts to which money was transferred are also being scanned. ED is planning to initiate a case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act against the administrators of the website.
Without naming anyone, UP CM Yogi Adityanath had said on Monday that “a number of organizations” were using foreign funds to plot conspiracies to derail his government’s development agenda “by fueling caste conflicts.”
Earlier this year, 120 million rupees credited to bank accounts allegedly linked to PFI had been scanned.
