The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has provisionally attached assets worth ₹2.37 crore linked to the Trans-Arunachal Highway land compensation scam.
Operating under the PMLA, the Itanagar unit seized 47,350 sq m of land in Dolo and a traditional house in Yachuli, following investigations into the misappropriation of government funds.
The scam involving the Potin-Bopi stretch saw an illegal disbursement of ₹44.98 crore through inflated claims and forged documents. High-ranking officials, including a former Deputy Commissioner and Land Revenue Officer, are accused of conspiring with individuals like Likha Maj to drain the exchequer.
This latest action follows February raids where ₹2.62 crore in cash was recovered and over ₹1 crore frozen in bank accounts. To date, the ED has neutralized illegal assets totaling ₹10.13 crore.
With the investigation intensifying, the agency expects further revelations regarding this massive breach of public trust.
