New Delhi, Dec 17 (UNI) A charge sheet filed by the Enforcement Directorate has detailed the alleged flow of Rs 83.5 lakh in drug proceeds from Punjab to Dubai, leading to the attachment of agricultural land in Gurgaon and the seizure of jewellery worth over Rs 2 crore.
The document, part of a money laundering probe under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), outlines a chain where funds from heroin sales were allegedly handed over in three instalments—Rs 47.5 lakh, Rs 20 lakh, and Rs 16 lakh to Nirmal Singh alias Neeldhari.
Nirmal Singh then passed the cash to licensed money changers in Amritsar—Satpal Singh, Hiralal, and Harjeet Singh alias Bagga. These operators, under instruction, reportedly routed the money through other individuals, Govind Singh and Parminder Pal Singh alias Bobby, to Jasmeet Singh Hakimzada in Dubai via Hawala channels.
The ED investigation claims that Jasmeet Singh Hakimzada, identified in the document as an international drug smuggler, used illicit funds to purchase two plots of land in Bhogpur village, Gurgaon, measuring approximately four acres and valued at Rs 1.22 crore. The agency has provisionally attached these properties, an order confirmed by the PMLA Adjudicating Authority in September 2025.
Furthermore, the ED states that during a search in August 2024, jewellery weighing 1,386.22 grams (including gold and diamonds) valued at Rs 2.03 crore was seized from bank lockers held in the name of Jasmeet Singh Hakimzada.
The chargesheet also notes that Jasmeet Singh Hakimzada, along with his parents and several associated companies, was added to the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control’s (OFAC) Specially Designated Nationals list in 2019.
The probe originated from a National Investigation Agency (NIA) case involving a narco-terror network linked to the proscribed Khalistan Liberation Force (KLF). The ED is pursuing the case for the offence of money laundering.
