ED Cracks Down on “Dunki Route”: Punjab, Haryana Raided
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) launched a major crackdown on July 11, 2025, conducting searches at seven locations across Punjab and Haryana. The raids are directly linked to the ongoing investigation into the “dunki route” human trafficking case.
This sophisticated network facilitates the illegal entry of immigrants into the US, followed by their subsequent deportation and return to India. The ED suspects a large-scale money laundering operation connected to this illicit activity.
Teams from the ED targeted premises in Mansa, Kurukshetra, and Karnal, seizing crucial documents and electronic evidence. The investigation is expected to shed light on the key players and the financial mechanisms behind this transnational crime.
The scale of the operation highlights the growing threat of human trafficking networks exploiting vulnerable individuals. This ED action sends a strong message, underscoring the government’s commitment to dismantling such criminal enterprises and protecting potential victims. The investigation’s outcome will be crucial in shaping future anti-trafficking strategies.
