The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has provisionally attached a Cessna aircraft worth ₹30.91 crore of the Bhushan Airways Services Private Limited (BASPL) in connection with the money laundering case involving the Bhushan Power and Steel Limited (BPSL) and others.
The BASPL is controlled and owned by Sanjay Singal, the former managing director of BPSL. Earlier, the agency had attached various immovable and movable assets valued at ₹4,423.36 crore in the same case. They included residential and commercial properties in Delhi, Mumbai and London.
