The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Saturday said it had arrested Swaraj Singh Yadav, managing director of Ocean Seven Buildtech Pvt Ltd (OSBPL), and "uncovered" a trail of fund diversion, cash dealings and systematic laundering of money collected from homebuyers, officials aware of the case said.

ED conducted searches across nine locations on November 13 under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and seized ₹86 lakh, said to be the proceeds of crime. A senior ED officer said the cash was found with a relative of Yadav, establishing "active possession and concealment" of illicit funds.

The officer said Yadav orchestrated a complex scheme to siphon off homebuyers' money collected under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) projects.

India played key role in shaping COP30 outcome

The establishment of a two-year work programme on the Paris Agreement’s Article 9.1, which mandates that developed countries provide resources to developing nations for climate action, was a significant outcome atthe 2025 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30) in Brazil's Belém.

In an interview with HT, Yadav said he believed that COP30 has restored faith in multilateralism with developing countries seeing a structured process capable of holding developed nations accountable for the first time in years.
