ED seizes private jet in connection with Rs. 850 crore Falcon scam at Hyderabad Airport
On March 7, 2025, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) seized a Hawker 800A jet at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Hyderabad, allegedly owned by Amardeep Kumar, the main accused in the ₹850 crore Falcon scam. This jet was reportedly used by Kumar to flee to Dubai on January 22. Kumar is suspected of using funds from the Falcon Group's Ponzi scheme to buy the jet in 2024. The scheme promised high returns through invoice discounting, but defrauded 6,979 investors of ₹850 crore. The ED questioned the jet's crew members and recorded a statement from one of Kumar's associates. Kumar and other key executives remain at large.09:36 AM Mar 08, 2025 IST
