Senior Gujarat officials under ED scanner as coordinated; searches target top district administration
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) carried out a major search operation in Gujarat’s Surendranagar district on Tuesday. The raids targeted senior government officials and others suspected of financial wrongdoing. Multiple locations were searched under strict security measures.
ED teams focused on the homes and offices of high-ranking Class-I officers, including District Collector Dr Rajendrakumar Patel and Deputy Mamlatdar Chandrasinh Mori. The operation extended to the premises of local contractors and advocates, suggesting a wider investigation into possible financial links.
Over eight ED vehicles were deployed, with local police forming a security cordon around the sites. Officials spent hours examining documents at Patel’s official bungalow and Mori’s residence. The searches aim to uncover evidence of alleged financial irregularities and undisclosed transactions. The recovered materials are now under review. The ED will use these findings to determine the next legal steps in the case.
The operation signals an ongoing probe into suspected financial misconduct in Surendranagar. Authorities have not yet named a lead investigator or provided further details on the case. Further action will depend on the analysis of seized records and evidence.
