<h1>Enforcement Directorate attaches Rs 4.18 crore properties of former MP linked to deceased gangster-politician</h1> The Enforcement Directorate attached immovable properties worth Rs 4.18 crore belonging to companies controlled by a former MP and an alleged aide of a deceased gangster-politician. The assets include a Delhi apartment, three Varanasi plots, and two agricultural lands in Uttar Pradesh. The action stems from a money laundering investigation involving a construction company that allegedly encroached government land and illegally constructed godowns leased to the Food Corporation of India. The company generated proceeds of crime totaling Rs 27.72 crore through rent collection, subsidies, and other transactions. The attached properties were purchased using laundered funds routed through multiple business accounts to disguise their criminal origin.
