ED Seizes ₹6.24 Cr Cash, Jewellery Worth ₹17.4 Cr in Inderjit Yadav Case
New Delhi:
After years of fear, intimidation and coercion faced by traders and borrowers, the law finally caught up with alleged armed extortionist Inderjit Singh Yadav.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has netted Yadav in a major money laundering probe, seizing cash, jewellery and property documents worth over ₹59 crore, bringing a sense of relief to many victims.
The Gurugram Zonal Office of the ED conducted extensive search operations from December 30, 2025 to January 1, 2026, at multiple premises in Delhi under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002. The searches were carried out in connection with an ongoing investigation against Yadav, his accomplices and other associated entities.
According to the ED, the accused were allegedly running a well-organised racket involving illegal extortion, coercive loan settlements with private financiers, and intimidation using arms, while generating hefty commissions from these unlawful activities.
During the searches, the agency seized ₹6.24 crore in cash, jewellery valued at approximately ₹17.4 crore, and incriminating documents and digital data. The ED also recovered documents related to immovable properties worth around ₹35 crore, suspected to be proceeds of crime.
Officials said the material seized points to a systematic laundering of money earned through threats, force and illegal financial settlements, with victims allegedly forced to comply under fear of violence.
For many who had long complained of being strong-armed into unfair deals, the ED action is being seen as a decisive step against organised financial crime backed by muscle power.
The agency is now analysing the seized digital evidence and documents to trace further money trails and identify additional beneficiaries of the illegal network.
The investigation is continuing, and further action under PMLA is likely as the ED tightens the noose around those involved in what officials describe as a classic case of crime, cash and coercion finally meeting the rule of law.
