The Directorate of Enforcement (ED) in Chandigarh arrested Mohit Goyal, a key associate of Gurpreet Singh Sabharwal, the proprietor of M/s Tirupati Roadways, on 08.03.2025. Goyal is involved in an ongoing investigation under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002, related to illegal mining activities that caused a loss of over Rs. 134 Crore to the Haryana government.

Goyal is accused of handling the proceeds of crime (POC) generated from the illegal activities and laundering the funds through unsecured loans and investments in companies controlled by Sabharwal. ED conducted searches on 08.03.2025, seizing digital devices, incriminating materials, and freezing bank accounts with Rs. 4.39 Crore. Previous searches had led to the seizure of Rs. 2.12 Crore in cash and other evidence. The investigation is ongoing.
