Ikramudin / New Delhi
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has provisionally attached seven immovable properties worth approximately ₹5.88 crore in Mumbai in connection with a money laundering investigation linked to an NDPS case involving Faisal Shaikh, Alfiya Shaikh, and others.
Officials said the attachment follows an investigation initiated on the basis of a complaint filed by NCB Mumbai under various sections of the NDPS Act. The probe revealed that Faisal Shaikh allegedly sourced prohibited Mephedrone (MD) drugs through Salim Dola, who investigators describe as a notorious drug kingpin.
According to the ED, Faisal Shaikh and his wife Alfiya Shaikh established an organised network for the distribution of MD drugs. Authorities allege that the couple supplied drugs to multiple individuals, who then sold them further to customers.
Investigators stated that the accused deposited large amounts of cash, believed to be proceeds from illegal drug sales, into their personal bank accounts to project the funds as legitimate income. The ED also found that firms opened in the names of the accused and their associates were allegedly used to integrate proceeds of crime despite having no genuine business activities.
The agency further alleged that Alfiya Shaikh and Faisal Shaikh routed drug sale proceeds through close associates, including Faizan Mohd Shafi Shaikh. Officials claim that funds were channelled via his proprietorship concern, Faiz Impex, multiple bank accounts, and shell companies before being diverted back to the main accused and their associates.
Authorities said the laundered funds were subsequently used to purchase immovable properties, which form part of the assets now under attachment.
Earlier, on October 8, 2025, the ED conducted search operations under the PMLA and seized cash worth ₹42 lakh, jewellery weighing 1.6 kg valued at approximately ₹1.76 crore, three second-hand luxury vehicles worth around ₹56 lakh, and froze 12 bank accounts linked to the accused.
The ED stated that further investigation into the money trail and associated individuals remains ongoing.
