Directorate of Enforcement attached assets worth Rs. 5.79 Crore in cattle smuggling

Tanya Sanyal (wife of Satish Kumar) and Enamul Haque’s assets worth Rs. 5.79 crore have been attached by the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) in the case of cattle smuggling under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002. Tanya Sanyal (Satish Kumar’s wife) and Enamul Haque’s assets have been attached in two separate attachment orders totaling Rs 53 lac and 5.25 crore, respectively.

The ED launched a money-laundering investigation based on an FIR filed by the CBI against Enamul Haque, Satish Kumar, and others for cattle smuggling across the Indo-Bangladesh border.

Tanya Sanyal’s attached assets include land and mutual funds, as well as a flat in Chittranjan Park, New Delhi, valued at Rs 5.25 crore and owned by Enamul Haque through his company Haque Industries Pvt Limited. Enamul Haque purchased this flat with the proceeds of cattle smuggling, and this POC was layered through Dubai and brought back to India in the form of remittances.

Enamul Haque was arrested by the ED on February 18, 2022, and is currently in judicial custody. The current attachment brings the total attachment in this case to Rs. 11.67 Crore. The ED has so far identified proceeds of crime totaling Rs. 418 crore.
