New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate attached assets worth Rs 54.24 crore from Indian Farmers Fertilizer Cooperative (IFFCO) managing director Udai Shankar Aswathi on Wednesday.

Earlier, the probe agency had attached immovable and movable assets worth Rs 100 crore in the case. Now, the total attachment has reached Rs 154.24 crore worth of assets so far.

The ED probe on the matter was on the basis of a CBI FIR lodged, naming Udai Shanker Awasthi, MD IFFCO, Pankaj Jain, promoter of Jyoti Trading Corporation and Rare Earth Group, Dubai, Amarendra Dhari Singh and others. The accused were charged with alleged hatching of a criminal conspiracy, cheating and criminal misconduct.
