The Maharashtra government on Wednesday said that the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) has frozen the bank accounts of ‘Gulzar-e-Raza’, a fake trust, and launched an investigation after preliminary findings suggested the organisation received funds from suspicious foreign sources.

Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said that the organisation, allegedly operating under the guise of religious activities, had collected crores of rupees from the public. The trust has been accused of misleading people and engaging in suspicious activities, raising serious concerns over financial irregularities and the misuse of public trust.
