A UK-based gang of Indian-origin individuals has been dismantled after a two-year investigation by the UK's National Crime Agency (NCA). The gang laundered millions of pounds, distributed drugs, and tried to obtain £1.5 million in government grants illegally. Neelen Balarajah was sentenced to 13 years and six months in prison. Rickinder Hare received a one-year suspension, community service, and probation. The NCA seized over £1.2 million in cash and £350,000 in assets, including a diamond-encrusted Rolex worth over £200,000. Another member, Hitesh Vadolia, died before facing trial.
