The Enforcement Directorate has attached assets worth ₹68 lakh of Naxal leader Pradyumn Sharma and others in Bihar in connection with 67 FIRs and chargesheets filed against them for extorting money from businessmen and industrialists.
“We have identified proceeds of crime to the tune of ₹2 crore as part of the probe under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act,” said an official.
The development comes a day before the second round of inter-agency coordination meeting is to be held on Tuesday to develop a strategy to choke the funding for Naxal operations in various States.
Pradyumn is the alleged in-charge of the Magadh zone of the Bihar-Jharkhand Special Area Committee of the banned outfit.
