Breaking: ED Busts UP Cough Syrup Smuggling Network, ₹400 Crore Fake Firms Scam Uncovered

The Enforcement Directorate has tightened its grip on a major cough syrup smuggling gang in Uttar Pradesh, uncovering a large-scale money laundering operation. ED’s investigation revealed that 189 fake firms were used to show a turnover of nearly ₹400 crore, facilitating illegal financial transactions. The main accused, Shubham Jaiswal, is at the center of the probe. During a raid at his locked residence, officials recovered luxury watches worth around ₹1.5 crore. Evidence also suggests that crores were spent on lavish home interiors, pointing to massive proceeds from illegal activities. The ED has found strong clues of black money circulation and is now working to trace every link of the illicit earnings. Further investigation is underway to identify other individuals involved in the racket.
