The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has raided 23 locations in Maharashtra and Gujarat in connection with a money laundering case involving a Malegaon-based trader.
The trader is alleged to have conducted transactions worth over Rs 100 crore using unauthorised bank accounts.
The investigation originated from a recent Malegaon Police FIR, which highlighted the issue of unauthorised use of bank accounts for illegal transactions.
The raids come ahead of the Maharashtra Assembly Elections.
