The raids were undertaken at 11 locations of the Operation Mobilisation (OM) group of charities and its key office-bearers in and around Hyderabad.
Searches against a Telangana-based charity group have found that about Rs 300 crore worth of foreign funds raised partly from domestic donations in the name of providing free education and meals to downtrodden children were diverted for "unauthorized" purposes, the Enforcement Directorate said on Tuesday.
The raids were undertaken at 11 locations of the Operation Mobilisation (OM) group of charities and its key office-bearers in and around Hyderabad on June 21-22, the federal agency said in a statement.
The money laundering case stems from a state police CID FIR that alleged that the charity group and others raised "substantial" funds of around Rs 300 crore from foreign donors based in the USA, Canada, UK, Australia, Argentina, Denmark, Germany, Finland, Ireland, Malaysia, Norway, Brazil, Czech Republic Republic, France, Romania, Singapore, Sweden and Switzerland in the name of providing free education and meals to Dalit and downtrodden children.
