Dhanbad, Dec. 13 -- The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Friday conducted fresh raids across multiple locations in Dhanbad, intensifying its probe into alleged illegal coal mining, transportation, and suspected money laundering networks operating between Jharkhand and West Bengal, officials in the know of the matter said. Teams arrived around 7:00 am, launching simultaneous searches at premises linked to coal trader and outsourcing firm DECO owner Manoj Agrawal and individuals identified as Sudhir Chautala and Indraraj Bhadoriya, officials said. Raids were carried out at Agrawal's residence and office in Dhanbad's Dhanbad and Memco areas, and another search was conducted at a flat in Trinity Garden belonging to DECO director AN Jha. According to officials, the operation is connected to the ED crackdown in Jharkhand and West Bengal on November 21, during which the agency searched the premises of high-profile coal businessmen, including LB Singh of the AT Devprabha Group and trader Anil Goyal. "Information gathered during those raids reportedly triggered the latest round of searches. Investigators are examining digital data, financial records, GST and tax-related documents, and materials linked to suspected illegal coal extraction, pilferage, and diversion. The agency suspects that proceeds generated through these activities were routed through complex channels to launder money," an official said....
