Story highlights

The ED initiated the investigation based on more than 15 FIRs and chargesheets filed by the Haryana and Uttar Pradesh Police under various sections of the Arms Act, the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), and the Indian Penal Code (IPC). 

Stacks of cash amounting to a total of more than Rs 5 crore, a suitcase full of gold and diamond jewellery worth Rs 8.8 crore, and a bag full of cheque books and documents of properties worth Rs 35 crore were recovered by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a raid at a house in Delhi. The premises were linked to one Aman Kumar, an associate of Rao Inderjeet Yadav, who has been under the radar of the central agency.

Rao Inderjit Singh Yadav, who flaunts a lavish lifestyle featuring fleets of luxury cars and private jets on his social media handles, is being hunted by the Enforcement Directorate and the Haryana Police. His Instagram is full of photos alongside celebrities, but police files categorise him as a gangster, and ED records label him an economic offender.
