<h1>Resident arrested under PMLA for allegedly forging documents and arranging passports for about 250 illegal immigrants, generating illicit proceeds</h1> The Enforcement Directorate arrested an Indian resident in West Bengal on October 13 under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act for allegedly forging documents and facilitating issuance of Indian passports to illegal Bangladeshi immigrants in about 250 cases, generating proceeds of crime. The arrest follows the earlier detention and judicial custody of a Pakistani operative accused of coordinating referrals and using a false identity; that operative was named in an ED chargesheet filed in June. A special PMLA court and the Calcutta High Court denied the arrested Indian's anticipatory bail.
