The Enforcement Directorate has attached properties valued at Rs 6.77 crore in a probe into alleged compensation fraud linked to the Trans‑Arunachal Highway project.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has attached assets worth Rs 6.77 crore in connection with a compensation scam involving the Trans‑Arunachal Highway project. The attachment is part of a broader investigation into alleged fraud in the distribution of land‑acquisition compensation.
The Trans‑Arunachal Highway, a key infrastructure initiative aimed at improving connectivity in the northeastern state, has been under scrutiny for irregularities in the allocation of compensation to affected landowners. The ED’s action follows a series of probes that have identified discrepancies in the payment records and the use of funds.
The attached properties include residential and commercial holdings belonging to individuals and entities linked to the project’s contractors. By seizing these assets, the ED seeks to prevent the dissipation of assets that may be tied to the alleged misappropriation of compensation funds.
The investigation is being conducted under the Prevention of Corruption Act and the Companies Act, with the ED looking into the roles of officials and private parties who may have facilitated the scam. Further details are expected as the inquiry progresses.
