ED Files Money Laundering Complaint in Mohali Land Scam and Accesses CBI Records in Related Case
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a prosecution complaint against Ajay Sehgal, secretary of the Indian Co-operative House Building Limited, for allegedly laundering Rs 348 crore linked to forged consent letters used to obtain change of land use (CLU) approvals for the Suntec City real estate project in Mohali. Sehgal was arrested in May 2026, and the ED recovered incriminating evidence during searches. Separately, the ED secured court records to investigate a 20-year-old CBI case involving alleged corruption and illegal construction of the Forest Hill Resort in Mohali, enabling a money laundering probe under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
