As part of a money-laundering probe, the Enforcement Directorate raided the proprietors of a mobile gaming software company with offices in Kolkata on Saturday and recovered nearly Rs 17.32 crore in cash.

Bundles of seized Rs 500 currency notes, along with a handful of the Rs 2,000 and Rs 200 denominations, were seen stacked up on a bed in a photo provided by the federal agency.

To determine the actual worth of the cash grab, the agency brought in bank employees and five note-counting machines.

The Enforcement Directorate stated in a statement that the searches were carried out at six sites of the gaming app known as "E-Nuggets," whose promoter was identified as Aamir Khan and others.
