<h1>Enforcement Directorate raids sites linked to cough syrup maker, FDA officials in PMLA money-laundering probe after child deaths</h1> The Enforcement Directorate is conducting raids at multiple Chennai premises linked to a cough syrup manufacturer and senior state food-and-drug administration officials as part of a money-laundering probe under the PMLA. Authorities allege the Kanchipuram-based firm continued operations for over a decade despite significant infrastructure deficiencies and repeated regulatory violations, and its product-licensed in 2011-was found adulterated with diethylene glycol, a poisonous contaminant. At least 20 children, mostly under five, have died in two states after being given the syrup; the company owner has been arrested by state police.
