India, July 24 -- The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has arrested three persons in connection with a Rs 70 crore Mephedrone (MD) trafficking and money laundering case. The accused-Ved Prakash Vyas, Dinesh Agarwal and Akshay Agarwal-were arrested by the ED's Indore Sub-Zonal Office on July 21 in a case involving the alleged possession and trafficking of 70 kg of the banned synthetic drug. The money laundering probe was initiated after the Indore Crime Branch registered an FIR under the NDPS Act. The ED said the accused allegedly generated huge proceeds through drug trafficking and laundered the money via multiple personal and business bank accounts. Searches in Indore and Mandsaur recovered documents, electronic devices and financial records linked to the investigation.
