Bhubaneswar: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has attached assets worth Rs 1.88 crore of a former cleaning assistant working with the Odisha government under the anti-money laundering law.
According to reports, the properties belong to Lingaraj Jena, former ‘safei mohareer’ (cleaning assistant), posted in the office of the additional sub-collector (Settlement) in Puri district.
The money laundering case of the ED stems from a case of alleged possession of disproportionate assets filed by the Odisha vigilance directorate against Jena.
As per the charge sheet filed by the vigilance directorate, Jena had “illicitly enriched” himself and his family members by acquiring assets disproportionate to his known sources of income, totalling Rs 1.88 crore, a PTI report said.
The ED probe in the case registered under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) found that Jena acquired monetary proceeds through indulgence in criminal activities, concealed it and invested the same in the acquisition of various assets.
