The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a prosecution complaint against the Sahara Group under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. Two individuals have been arrested for allegedly facilitating secret disposal of Sahara Group properties through cash transactions. The ED's investigation revealed properties acquired through public deposits were being covertly disposed of. Allegations against the group include operating a Ponzi scheme, manipulating accounts, and siphoning depositor money. Despite legal challenges, efforts for depositor refunds are ongoing, with Rs 16,138 crore deposited in a refund account and over Rs 5,000 crore already refunded to more than 27 lakh depositors.
