Raids were carried out at 13 locations across Punjab, Haryana, and Chandigarh. During these operations, the STF froze 24 bank accounts connected to the accused, containing a total of 6.19 crores. Additionally, three bank lockers were frozen. The STF also seized 9 lakh rupees in cash and foreign currency. The investigation revealed immovable property worth 1.4 crores in Zirakpur.
The raids, which began in the morning, saw STF teams reaching Bathinda, Mohali, Gidderbaha, Zirakpur, and Fatehabad. The entire operation was videotaped, and the investigation is still ongoing.
Initial findings suggest that Mittal had connections with major drug traffickers currently imprisoned. The wealth generated from this illegal trade allowed him to accumulate property worth crores of rupees. The STF has gathered several important clues and documents during the search. Officials believe that the accused was involved in a synthetic drug racket with these traffickers. DGP Punjab Gaurav Yadav shared this information on his social media account on X.
ADGP STF Neelabh Kishore confirmed the freezing of over twenty bank accounts and several bank lockers belonging to the drug inspector. Once the raid is complete, detailed information will be shared. Sources indicate that the accused amassed property worth crores from drug trafficking money, which will now be attached by the STF on a priority basis. This is considered a major success for the police, who have been investigating the case for nearly a month. The police will continue to monitor several other individuals connected to this case.
