Shimla: CISF Special Security Team Deployed at ED HQ, High-Profile Raids Expected to Accelerate
A special security team of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) has been deployed at the Enforcement Directorate (ED) headquarters in Shimla by the Ministry of Home Affairs. On Wednesday, 40 personnel, led by an Assistant Commandant, took charge in Shimla. Previously, ED relied on CISF personnel sent from Chandigarh for its operations.
The permanent deployment of the security team is expected to accelerate high-profile money laundering and fraud investigations in Himachal Pradesh. The ED is currently probing a ₹2,300 crore cryptocurrency scam, a ₹250 crore scholarship fraud, mining mafia cases in Una and Kangra, the KCC Bank OTS case, and the ₹2,100 crore Indian Technomax bank fraud.
With the support of the special CISF team, ED officials can now conduct surprise raids without external interference. Sources indicate that several investigations are in the final stages, and the process of physically attaching properties may begin soon.
Key cases where action is expected:
Crypto Scam: Seizure of properties of fraudsters who cheated thousands of people.
Scholarship Scam: Attaching assets of several private educational institutions involved in the ₹250 crore fraud.
Technomax Scam: Acceleration in attaching valuable company assets in the ₹2,100 crore bank fraud case.
