<h1>Foreign remittances to climate activist's company allegedly diverted to advocacy, plus excess liquor found; probes continue, arrests made</h1> Enforcement action under FEMA was initiated following searches of a climate activist, his spouse, and their company for alleged foreign exchange contraventions involving receipt and purported diversion of over Rs 6 crore in foreign remittances. The allegation is that foreign funds were received as 'consultancy' or 'agro-product sales' but were intended to finance specified advocacy activities, with funds allegedly transferred to personal accounts; the operative effect is continuation of investigation into the financial trail, remitting entities, and directors' role for suspected FEMA violations. During the searches, liquor allegedly exceeding limits permissible under UP excise law was found and reported to local excise authorities; the operative effect is seizure of the excess liquor and arrest for contravention of state excise laws. Foreign travel to Pakistan and Bangladesh and its funding is also under scrutiny; the operative effect is expanded inquiry into trip financing and related contacts.
