AGRA: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted a raid on Wednesday morning at the residence of an Agra-based real estate businessman located at Asha Villa in Dwarka Puram under Hariparvat police station limits. This follows an FIR filed two months ago for a Rs 9 crore fraud.
The ED team arrived at 7 am and seized documents, laptops, and computers, which are currently being scrutinised. Prakhar Garg, who is facing 25 fraud cases, was not present at the residence.
“A team of ED officers is conducting a raid at Prakhar Garg’s home. The investigation is ongoing, and no one is allowed to enter or leave the premises,” a police officer said.
Garg had previously gained attention for pledging a Rs 510 crore donation to the Vrindavan Corridor project. He was arrested in Oct 2022 by Agra police in a fraud case and sent to jail. The case, filed in Aug 2021 by lawyer Anurag Gupta, alleged misappropriation of Rs 2.5 crore.
The lawyer claimed the money was given for business purposes but was not returned despite profits being made. A cheque issued by Prakhar Garg also bounced, adding to the allegations.
