Sources aware of the development said that the raids and search operations are being conducted based on a complaint registered in Chennai about an online forgery case involving over Rs 1,000 crore.

Investigations revealed that the rackets extended their activities in some of the eastern Indian states mainly in West Bengal which prompted ED to conduct such raids and search operations.
