The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has intensified its crackdown on individuals linked to gangster Inderjeet Yadav, seizing ₹1.22 crore in cash and jewellery worth ₹8.5 crore from a farmhouse in Delhi's Westend Green Farms. The raids, which commenced on December 30, 2025, are part of an ongoing money laundering investigation targeting Yadav, who is believed to be operating from the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
According to officials, the farmhouse belongs to Sunil Gupta, an alleged associate of Yadav. Preliminary investigations suggest that Gupta had previously provided loans to Aman Kumar, another associate of Yadav. The ED suspects that Kumar attempted to conceal the proceeds of crime by transferring substantial amounts of cash to Gupta following the commencement of the ED probe.
This recent seizure follows an earlier raid where the ED recovered ₹5.12 crore in cash and ₹8.8 crore worth of jewellery, along with documents related to assets worth ₹35 crore, from the premises of Aman Kumar in Sarvapriya Vihar, South Delhi.
The ED's case against Yadav stems from allegations of illegal extortion, coercive settlement of private loans, intimidation using arms, and earning commissions through such activities. The investigation was initiated based on over 15 FIRs and chargesheets filed by police in Haryana and Uttar Pradesh against Yadav and his associates. Yadav is accused of acting as a "strongman and enforcer", facilitating coercive settlements of high-value private loan transactions and financial disputes. The agency alleges that these settlements were carried out using threats, intimidation, and armed associates, with the involvement of organized crime syndicates operating from abroad. In return, Yadav is said to have earned commissions running into hundreds of crores from the corporates involved.
The ED's investigation has also revealed the involvement of certain corporate entities, including Apollo Green Energy Ltd, which allegedly borrowed large sums of money in cash from private financiers based in Dighal and Jhajjar in Haryana. These loans were reportedly secured through postdated cheques. Furthermore, Yadav is suspected of developing and operating an online portal to broker loan settlements between corporate entities and private financiers.
The ED has been actively targeting Yadav's assets and associates in recent weeks. In late December 2025, the agency conducted raids across Delhi and Haryana, seizing luxury cars, cash, and digital evidence. The ED alleges that Yadav used illicit earnings to acquire luxury cars, properties, and fund an extravagant lifestyle, while declaring minimal income in tax filings. The assets seized from Kumar’s premises are suspected to be proceeds of crime generated through the alleged illegal activities. The agency previously conducted searches at premises linked to Apollo Green Energy Ltd as well, in connection with the case.
