ED Hyderabad attaches Rs 1.9L assets in Bangladeshi trafficking case
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) in Hyderabad has seized assets worth approximately Rs 1.90 lakh from two prostitution and trafficking rings operated by Bangladeshi nationals. The investigation began after Telangana Police raids on two brothels uncovered an organized syndicate, leading to the arrest of several Bangladeshi nationals who had entered India illegally and used fake identities. The NIA, which took over the investigation, found the traffickers used deceptive tactics to lure victims into India with promises of jobs, only to force them into prostitution. The ED discovered that the traffickers used multiple bank accounts and online wallets to facilitate their operations, paying agents on the Indo-Bangladesh border for each trafficking operation. The proceeds were then transferred to individuals in West Bengal, where they were withdrawn and sent back to Bangladesh through informal channels. The ED has attached assets belonging to Ruhul Amin Dhali, a key agent, and the investigation is ongoing.01:05 PM Mar 14, 2025 IST
