\nDirectorate of Enforcement (ED), Srinagar Zonal Office has provisionally attached Proceeds of Crime amounting to Rs. 16,86,465\/-under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002.
\nThe attached amount is lying in a bank account maintained in the name of M\/s Jeevika Foundations with HDFC Bank, Karol Bagh, New Delhi.
