The Enforcement Directorate’s Panaji Zonal Office has submitted a charge sheet under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act against Mohammed Suhail and others for alleged land grabbing and fraud in Anjuna, Goa. The complaint was filed on November 20, 2025, at the Special PMLA Court in Merces. The court acknowledged the offenses on February 1, 2026.
Investigations revealed that Mohammed Suhail, known for multiple land grabbing cases, orchestrated a scheme to unlawfully transfer property titles in Anjuna. The fraudulent activities included creating fake identities, forging documents, and undervaluing property during transactions to legitimize criminal proceeds. Suhail, the main accused, was arrested by the ED on September 22, 2025, and remains in judicial custody.
The charge sheet also names Anjum Shaikh as a co-accused. Suhail, during a court appearance via video conferencing, was represented by legal counsel. This case is part of a broader crackdown on land mafias in Goa, with properties worth over Rs 232 crore linked to Suhail’s syndicate already attached by the ED. The agency is actively investigating to uncover the full extent of the laundering network and additional fraudulent acquisitions.
