New Delhi, Sep 6 — The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has seized two luxury vehicles, a Porsche Cayenne Coupe and a Mercedes-Benz, during a search operation in Durg, Chhattisgarh, linked to the multi-crore “Re-agent Procurement Scam.”
The operation was carried out on August 28, 2025, by the ED’s Raipur zonal office under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002. The vehicles, seized under Section 17(1) of the PMLA, belong to Mokshit Corporation, a partnership firm registered in the name of businessman Shashank Chopda and his father, Shantilal Chopda.
According to the agency, the probe began after the Anti-Corruption Bureau/Economic Offences Wing (ACB/EOW), Raipur, registered an FIR against Mokshit Corporation and senior officials of the Chhattisgarh Medical Services Corporation Limited (CGMSCL) and Directorate of Health Services (DHS). A chargesheet has already been filed in the case.
The ED stated that Shashank Chopda, along with DHS and CGMSCL officials, allegedly conspired to manipulate tender processes, fabricate demand, and supply medical equipment and reagents at inflated prices to CGMSCL. This, it said, caused a massive loss to the state exchequer while generating illegal profits for the accused.
The latest seizure adds to the agency’s earlier action on July 30, 2025, when properties worth over ₹40 crore were seized or frozen in connection with the same case. That operation also included the seizure of two other luxury vehicles — a Mini Cooper and a Toyota Fortuner — registered in the name of Mokshit Corporation.
“The investigation into the money laundering aspect of the scam is ongoing,” the ED confirmed.
