ED Attaches Assets Worth Rs 9.79 Crore of Former MP Health Director in Money Laundering Case

Bhopal, January 31, 2026: The Directorate of Enforcement (ED), Bhopal Zonal Office, has provisionally attached movable and immovable properties valued at approximately Rs 9.79 crore belonging to Amarnath Mittal, the former Director of Health Services for the Madhya Pradesh Government, and his wife, Alka Mittal.

The action was taken under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002, following an investigation into assets disproportionate to known sources of income.

The attached assets include residential and agricultural lands in the Bhopal and Raisen districts, as well as long-term Capital Gain Bonds.The money laundering probe was initiated based on an FIR registered by the Lokayukta, Bhopal, under the Prevention of Corruption Act. Investigations revealed that during the check period, Amarnath Mittal’s lawful income was approximately Rs 60 lakh, yet he acquired assets and incurred expenditures totaling nearly Rs 2.98 crore.

This resulted in the accumulation of disproportionate assets worth Rs 2.38 crore.To disguise the illicit origin of these funds, the accused allegedly utilized unaccounted cash, unexplained deposits, and layered financial transactions to purchase properties in his name, his wife’s name, and under A N Mittal HUF.

The ED further noted that Mittal sold properties acquired before the 2012 FIR and reinvested the proceeds into new assets to project “Proceeds of Crime” as untainted property. These reinvested gains, now valued at Rs 9.79 crore, have been frozen as part of the ongoing investigation.
