ED attaches Himachal official's assets worth Rs 2.58 crore in bribery and corruption case

NEW DELHI: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has provisionally attached two immovable properties, worth Rs 2.58 crore, under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) in a case linked to bribery, corruption, forgery, and disproportionate assets involving Himachal Pradesh's Assistant Drug Controller, Nishant Sareen, and his associate Komal Khanna.

The attached assets include a residential flat in Sector-20, Panchkula (Haryana) and a residential building in Shimla.

The money-laundering probe stems from an FIR registered by the Himachal Pradesh State Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau (SV&ACB) under Section 11 of the Prevention of Corruption Act against Sareen, who was then posted as Assistant Drug Controller in Baddi. The vigilance agency arrested him and filed a charge sheet in 2021 against him and Khanna.
