(Judicial Quest News Network)
Gujarat, February,25,2025. The Directorate of Enforcement (ED) at Ahmedabad Zonal Office has arrested Mahesh Prabhudan Langa under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002, in connection with a major fraud case involving multiple victims. Langa was produced before the Hon’ble Special Judge (PMLA) at Mirzapur Court, Ahmedabad, where the court granted him four days of ED custody until February 28, 2025.
The ED launched its investigation after an FIR was registered by DCB Police Station, Ahmedabad City, for cheating and criminal breach of trust against Mahesh Prabhudan Langa and others. During the probe, another FIR was uncovered, filed by the Satellite Police Station, Ahmedabad, accusing Langa of fraud, criminal misappropriation, cheating, and causing substantial financial losses to individuals.
The investigation revealed that Langa was engaged in multiple fraudulent financial transactions involving significant sums of money, including extortion, manipulation, and leveraging media influence. Langa is also implicated in a large-scale GST Input Tax Credit scam, which is currently under investigation by the ED. His attempts to obscure the true nature of his financial dealings have raised further suspicions regarding his actions and the fraudulent use of funds.
The investigation is ongoing, and further details are awaited as the ED continues to uncover the extent of the fraud.
