Ed raids over donkey route case: The Jalandhar zonal team of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has taken major action in the Dunky Route case on Wednesday (July 9, 2025). The team raided 11 different locations in 7 districts Amritsar, Sangrur, Patiala, Moga, Ambala, Kurukshetra and Karnal of Punjab and Haryana. This case is related to the Indians who were submitted from the US in February 2025.
The ED investigation has revealed that many travel and visa agents used to detect people that they would send them to America in a legal manner. Instead, he used to charge about 45 to 50 lakh rupees from a person, but the reality was that illegal and dangerous routes were used to deliver these people to America, which is called ‘Danki Route’. People are crossed the border of many countries in Dunky route. They are also from forests and dangerous paths, which are in possession of mafia and donkers.
FIR has been registered in 17 cases in Punjab and Haryana
The ED has revealed during the investigation that these agents used to pressurize those people and their families in collaboration with mafia. When people were trapped on the way or they had to face dangers, the families were threatened and more money was charged. This investigation has been started under PMLA. So far, FIR has been registered in 17 such cases in Punjab and Haryana. The ED has also recorded the statements of some deployed people, from which many important clues have been found. On the basis of these, the suspects have now been identified and today’s red is on their bases.
The ED team will investigate the documents, digital data and bank transactions received so far to find out who else is included in the entire network and how much money was transferred in hawala or other illegal ways.
