ED Attaches Dubai Properties Worth Rs 51 Crore in SBI Bank Fraud Case
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has attached nine properties in Dubai, valued at over Rs 51 crore, under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. These assets, including apartments and commercial spaces, are linked to an alleged bank fraud by Advantage Overseas Private Limited (AOPL) and its director Shrikant Bhasi, which caused a loss of Rs 1,266.63 crore to the State Bank of India. The ED claims the properties were acquired using proceeds of crime and were later gifted by Bhasi to his daughter.
