The ED earlier lodged a chit-fund case against chit-fund companies linked to Punjab and West Bengal, and the raids, which began early on Friday, are still ongoing at the residences of suspects in the case.
Reports indicate that the chit fund firm defaulted on the repayment of maturity amounts after collecting money from investors and misappropriated the funds for personal gain and to other beneficiaries.
