New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has seized key evidence, including documents related to imports and exports and digital devices, during searches at the residential and business premises of Vikas Garg and his associates in connection with a ₹190-crore customs duty evasion case.

Officials said the searches were conducted on November 12 under Section 17 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002 at multiple locations linked to Garg — identified as one of the main accused — and his employees. The employees allegedly held entities incorporated outside India, which were used to facilitate imports and exports in their names to conceal the true beneficiaries.

The case pertains to Titan Sea and Air Services Pvt Ltd and others, based on an FIR filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The FIR accuses the firm of creating fake export documents, including invoices and shipping bills, to falsely claim that goods were exported to Nepal and Bangladesh.
