NEW DELHI, Nov 16: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has frozen over 100 bank accounts linked to so-called ‘mules’ involved in a cocaine trafficking network and seized cash amounting to Rs 70 lakh. The action comes as part of an ongoing investigation into the movement of illegal drugs across the country.
According to officials, the ‘mule’ accounts were used to facilitate financial transactions related to the trafficking of cocaine. The ED is probing the network to trace the flow of funds, identify the key operators, and dismantle the financial infrastructure supporting the drug trade.
The seized cash and frozen accounts are expected to provide crucial leads in the case, helping authorities track the sources and destinations of illegal funds. Investigators are continuing to gather evidence and coordinate with other law enforcement agencies to take further action against those involved in the illicit network.
The ED emphasized that such measures are aimed at disrupting the financial channels that enable narcotics trafficking, sending a strong message that the authorities are committed to tackling organized drug
