According to the reports, the official injured in the attack was identified as additional director of ED. The central probe agency had registered an FIR in connection with the case pertaining to cyber app fraud linked to the UAE-based Pyypl payment aggregator.

“Five people were there and one of them ran away. The premises are secured and an FIR is being filed. One additional director of ED was injured in the incident,” the probe agency said.

“The Enforcement Directorate’s High-Intensity Unit (HIU) launched extensive searches today targeting top chartered accountants allegedly linked to a massive cybercrime network operating across India.
