The Enforcement Directorate on Tuesday carried out searches across several locations in West Bengal as part of its probe into alleged money laundering linked to coal and sand syndicates. During the raids, officials recovered a large quantity of cash, gold and incriminating documents.

The searches began early in the day and covered multiple districts, including Asansol, Durgapur, Bardhaman, Pandabeshwar and Kaksha, along with several locations in Kolkata. According to sources, the operation is connected to ongoing investigations into illegal mining and related financial transactions.

Officials said the seized materials are being examined to trace the flow of illicit funds and identify individuals involved in the alleged laundering network. Further action is expected based on the evidence collected during the searches.
