ED Attaches Alibaug Land Worth Rs 336 Crore in Jai Corp Money-Laundering Probe
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has provisionally attached 88.47 acres of land in Alibaug valued at approximately Rs 336 crore as part of its money-laundering investigation into Jai Corp Limited. The probe concerns alleged financial irregularities and undervaluation of assets in the Urban Infrastructure Venture Capital Fund (UIVCF), which raised Rs 2,434 crore from investors. The fund's tenure was reportedly extended without Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) approval, leading SEBI to order its winding up and an independent asset valuation for investor exit.
