NEW DELHI — The Enforcement Directorate marked the eighth year of its investigation into a Haryana land deal on Tuesday by informing a Delhi court that the investigation was ongoing. The agency filed a fresh status report, its latest since the original 2018 FIR, confirming that the matter remained under active examination.

At issue is how a parcel valued at Rs 7.5 crore, allegedly transferred as a bribe, was sold onward for Rs 58 crore and ultimately helped a real estate firm book roughly Rs 5,000 crore in profit. "We added Section 423 for fraudulent cancellation of deed to the FIR last year," an official said, offering the addition as evidence that the case was advancing.

The report was submitted in a sealed cover, and the agency resisted a request to share it with the accused, explaining that a matter this sensitive in 2018 remained too sensitive to describe in 2026. Officials said the scope was still widening, most recently to examine the role of the firm that received the land.

"The modalities of the profit are still being worked out," an official said outside the courtroom, using a phrase that has appeared in the agency's account of the case in every year it has declined to conclude it.
