Rahul Navin to Continue as ED Chief

Rahul Navin took charge as the Director of the Enforcement Directorate in August 2024. Since assuming the position, he has overseen several important investigations involving alleged money laundering, financial irregularities and other economic offences.

The Enforcement Directorate is responsible for investigating cases under key laws, including the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA).
