ED Conducts Raids Across Assam in Fake Supply Order Scam; ₹14.5 Lakh Cash, High-End Vehicles Recovered

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted raids at six locations in Guwahati, Kokrajhar, Tezpur, and New Delhi in a money-laundering probe involving Rishiraj Kaundinya and others. The case centres on fake purchase orders issued in the names of autonomous councils to fraudulently procure goods. The ED seized ₹14.5 lakh cash, froze bank accounts, and confiscated luxury cars, a ₹65-lakh land deal, documents, and digital evidence. The accused allegedly created forged supply orders, signatures, cheques, and payment notes to cheat suppliers, collecting commissions and diverting goods. The fraud caused non-payment of ₹9.86 crore. Further investigation and asset attachment are underway.
