The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has decided to provisionally attach the properties of suspended IAS couple, Arvind and Tinu Joshi, who had allegedly amassed assets worth Rs 350 crore unlawfully, officials said today.

The zonal office of ED in Ahmedabad has issued an order to provisionally attach the huge property of the disgraced IAS couple, they said.

The ED had registered a case of money laundering against the IAS couple of 1979 batch in January this year and is carrying out investigations, the officials said.

Income Tax sleuths had in February, 2010 raided the places of Arvind and Tinu at Bhopal and unearthed Rs 350 crore amassed by them by unlawful means.

Subsequently, the State government suspended the IAS couple and their suspension was recently extended by six months.
