The Enforcement Directorate (ED), Jalandhar Zonal Office, has restituted six attached immovable properties valued at approximately ₹20.21 crore (as per sale deed) — with a current estimated market value of around ₹50 crore — to the State Bank of Patiala and Catholic Syrian Bank under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002.
The restitution was carried out following an order dated February 6, 2026, by the Hon’ble Special PMLA Court in Mohali. The properties were earlier attached in connection with a money laundering probe involving M/s Nature Heights Infra Limited and its Director Neeraj Thatai alias Neeraj Arora, linked to an alleged investor fraud case.
The restituted assets include commercial properties located in Punjab’s Fatehgarh Sahib district. The action is part of ongoing efforts by the ED to recover and restore assets to rightful claimants in financial fraud and money laundering cases.
