ED freezes 1,424 bank accounts, arrests six in Manipur-Mizoram narco-hawala probe

The Enforcement Directorate has arrested six people and frozen 1,424 bank accounts in Manipur and Mizoram in a cross-border drug money case. The agency says searches across three money laundering cases revealed a single narco-hawala network that sends drug proceeds from across India back to suppliers in Myanmar. Heroin and methamphetamine reportedly enter through the porous border before moving onward.
