NEW DELHI: A team of the Enforcement Directorate was allegedly attacked on Thursday while conducting raids related to a cyber crime case in Delhi.
According to officials, one additional director of the probing agency was injured in the attack in the Bijwasan area of the national capital.
“The Enforcement Directorate’s High-Intensity Unit (HIU) launched extensive searches today targeting top chartered accountants allegedly linked to a massive cybercrime network operating across India,” the agency said in a statement.
“The raids follow an investigation that uncovered the laundering of illicit funds generated from thousands of cybercrimes, including phishing scams, QR code fraud, and part-time job scams,” it added.
Five people carried out the attack, out of whom one ran away, the officials added.
The central probing agency has filed an FIR against the accused in the case, including Ashok Sharma and his brother.
