Crores of rupees seized from Delhi travel agent

Officials claimed to have seized Rs 4.62 crore in cash, 313 kg of silver and 6 kg of gold biscuits from the premises of a travel agent in Delhi. The investigators have also recovered some incriminating chats from phones and electronic devices found during the raids. Officials said that records and documents related to ‘Dinky’ business have been found from the hideout of one of the main accused in Haryana. It is alleged that the agents used to keep the property documents of people going to America illegally as a guarantee of their commission amount. The term ‘dinky’ refers to the long and difficult journey that immigrants undertake to enter countries illegally.

Action started after sending back Indians from America

The Central Investigation Agency had conducted raids for the first time in the Dinky case in July. Recently, assets worth Rs 5 crore of some travel agents were attached, which led to the identification of some alleged accused behind this illegal racket. The ED investigation was registered by the Punjab and Haryana Police in connection with the repatriation of 330 Indian citizens to India in military cargo planes by the US government in February 2025. Many FIRs were filed in these cases. ED says that the accused cheated innocent people by luring them to send them to America legally and collected huge amount for this.
