Visual Reference Source: Editorial
New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday, September 2, 2026, conducted searches at multiple locations as part of a money laundering investigation linked to alleged fraud toll collection at several National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) toll plazas. According to officials, around 14 premises were searched across Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Jammu and Kashmir, Madhya Pradesh, Delhi,NCR and West Bengal. The searches form part of an ongoing investigation into suspected financial irregularities associated with toll collection at NHAI plazas. The ED is examining the alleged movement and handling of funds in connection with the case. The investigation covers multiple States and Union Territories, reflecting the geographical scope of the alleged financial transactions. As the searches are part of an ongoing probe, the allegations being investigated have not, by themselves, established criminal liability against any individual or entity. Further details about the persons or organisations under investigation are expected to emerge as the probe progresses. The ED action marks a significant development in the case, with investigators continuing to examine the alleged toll collection irregularities and their possible financial implications.
