The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has launched a money-laundering probe into an alleged international call centre racket operated from a luxury resort at Igatpuri in Nashik district, where foreign nationals were allegedly duped through fraudulent technical-support calls.
A senior ED official confirmed that the agency had registered an Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR) in connection with the alleged scam. The ECIR has been registered to trace the proceeds of crime, including suspected financial transactions, digital evidence, and the alleged use of hawala and cryptocurrency channels to move funds.
