According to reports, the ED has issued detailed queries demanding explanations for these high-value transactions. The probe centers on whether the funds used for these overseas trips were sourced from legitimate channels or involved suspicious financial dealings connected to the broader tender irregularities.

The case has drawn significant attention due to the seniority of the official involved.
