On Thursday, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted raids across four states: Delhi, Jharkhand, Bihar, and Karnataka. These actions are part of an ongoing investigation into a money laundering case linked to a petrol bomb attack that occurred in June at the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) state office in Ranchi’s Nirvanpur area. Sources familiar with the situation confirmed the details of the raids.
One bomb landed on the roof of the building and caused a fire, while another fell near the entrance but no damage was done. Nobody was injured in the incident. Two suspects, Saif Ansari and Aman Ansari, were arrested from a railway station when they were trying to flee while a third person, Sayam Sujan was caught later. Preliminary intelligence assessment is that one of the arrested persons had stayed in Dubai for about six months during which he came in contact with the network of Shahzad Bhatti, a Pakistani gangster-terrorist and was most likely currently in touch with a handler called ‘Rana Sahab’.
Unknown persons had hurled petrol bombs at RSS office under the Chutia police station area of Ranchi on June 16/17 night.
