JALANDHAR, MAY 17 — Federal financial investigators have directed the top leadership of the Greater Mohali Area Development Authority to join an active money-laundering investigation involving high-profile property development sanctions.
The official notice requires the Chief Administrator of the authority to deliver internal institutional files to the Enforcement Directorate’s Jalandhar office on Monday morning.
The current legal procedure stems from an expansive probe into the regulatory processes utilized to clear the Suntec City and Altus Space Builders commercial ventures. Agency representatives asserted that the investigation has transitioned to examining the official oversight mechanics within the state housing department. Investigators noted that the summons carries judicial weight under Section 50 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, meaning non-compliance could trigger immediate legal liability under modern penal codes.
The escalation comes exactly ten days after enforcement units executed simultaneous raids at 12 separate locations throughout the capital region and Patiala. Those initial searches focused heavily on private promoters, including Gaurav Dhir of Dhir Constructions and independent consultant Nitin Gohal, as well as the executive boards of the involved housing societies.
Department officials maintained that the requested documentation will clarify the administrative chain of command responsible for the project authorizations. The enforcement agency has explicitly instructed the development authority’s leadership to compile all transaction ledgers, correspondence, and staff rosters connected to the disputed land-use clearances to determine if public office was compromised for corporate gain.
