Jalandhar:
The Enforcement Directorate, Jalandhar, has provisionally attached immovable properties worth ₹79.93 crore belonging to M/s Malbros International Pvt Ltd under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002.
The attached assets include land, buildings, and plant and machinery. The action was taken on December 13, 2025, in connection with an ongoing money laundering investigation linked to a serious environmental crime.
According to the ED, the company is accused of persistently and covertly disposing of untreated industrial effluents by injecting them into deep aquifers through reverse boring. Investigators say this illegal activity not only caused extensive environmental damage but also generated proceeds of crime, attracting provisions of the PMLA.
The probe is continuing to trace the money trail and identify other entities or individuals involved in the alleged offence.
