The Enforcement Directorate on Saturday, September 10 seized more than Rs 17 crore in cash after it raided the promoters of a Kolkata-based mobile gaming app company called, E-Nuggets, as part of a money-laundering investigation.
According to ED, a person namely Amir Khan launched a mobile gaming application namely E-Nuggets, which was designed for the purpose of defrauding the public. During the initial period, the users were rewarded with commission and the balance in the wallet could be withdrawn hassle-free. This provided initial confidence among users. And, after collecting a handsome amount from the public, all of a sudden, the withdrawal from the said App was stopped, at one or the other pretext like system upgradation, investigation by LEAs etc.
The agency, the sources said, is looking at some "political links" of the app promoters and wants to ascertain the actual beneficiaries of this cash. Here's the report.
