New Delhi, Jun 18 (PTI) The Enforcement Directorate has attached assets worth Rs 2 crore of a ‘box boy’ working in the Railways in a money laundering case linked to alleged possession of disproportionate assets.
Prashant Baldevbhai Rabari was working with the Western Railway Zone when he was booked by the Gujarat Police on charges of corruption, the central agency said in a statement on Thursday.
Box boys, or porters, work as support staff in the country’s largest transporter and help load and unload goods and heavy boxes of loco pilots (train drivers) and guards.
The ED said Rabari allegedly amassed disproportionate assets worth about Rs 2.58 crore in the form of movable and immovable properties (held in his name and in the name of his wife Amulben Rabari) through “corrupt and illegal” activities between January 2017 and February 2021.
A provisional attachment order has been issued under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) to attach his allegedly ill-gotten immovable assets, the ED said. PTI NES VN VN
