The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday conducted searches at 13 business and residential premises across Punjab, Haryana and Delhi in the Dunki route case, officials said.
ED's Jalandhar zonal office attached these properties derived out or equivalent to the Proceeds of Crime generated by various agents namely Shubham Sharma, Jagjit Singh and Surmukh Singh, who were involved in sending persons to USA illegally through the 'dunky' route.
Sophia Dunkley's consistent run with the bat has seen her clinch the ICC Women's Player of the Month award for July, the first time she has won the honour.
The case relates to the illegal immigration to the US of Shubham Saini, a resident of Naraingarh, Haryana. In January this year, the NIA mentioned that Shubham Saini was apprehended by the US authorities at the border and deported to India.
Dunkley was a model of consistency for England throughout July as she looked in fine touch with the bat during back-to-back white-ball series against India at home.
