ED probes ₹95 crore foreign debit card network

India's Enforcement Directorate (ED) is investigating a ₹95 crore financial network involving the illegal use of foreign debit cards smuggled into the country. The probe, which included pan-India searches on April 18–19, 2026, centers on an unregistered group called The Timothy Initiative (TTI). Authorities flagged that ₹6.5 crore was withdrawn in the Dhamtari and Bastar regions, areas known for Left Wing Extremism (LWE) activity. The case gained momentum after the Bureau of Immigration intercepted an individual carrying 24 foreign debit cards at Bengaluru International Airport.
