Enforcement Directorate Attaches Rs 2 Crore Properties of Railway Porter in Money Laundering CasePreviousNext

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has provisionally attached immovable properties worth around Rs 2 crore belonging to Prashant Baldevbhai Rabari, a railway porter, in a money laundering case. Rabari, employed with the Western Railway Zone, is accused of accumulating disproportionate assets valued at approximately Rs 2.58 crore between January 2017 and February 2021 through alleged corrupt and illegal activities. The assets, held in his and his wife's names, were traced following an FIR by Gujarat Police. The ED is continuing its investigation into the financial network involved.
