Why ED Took Action Against Inderjeet Yadav

The federal agency initiated action against Yadav, who fled to the UAE after an alleged involvement in the murder of a businessman in Rohtak last year. It is alleged that Yadav was involved in extortion, coercive loan settlement of private financiers, and armed intimidation. He used to earn commission from such activities.

ED’s action stems from over 15 cases and charge sheets against Yadav and his complices, filed by the Haryana and Uttar Pradesh governments.

Who Is Rao Inderjeet Yadav

Inderjeet Yadav operated a website providing loan settlement between corporate houses and private financiers, as per ANI. Inderjeet was the owner and the key controller of music company, Gem Records Entertainment Pvt Ltd (operating as ‘Gems Tunes’), as per FIRs filed against him.

'Gems Tunes', functions as an OTT platform that creates and distributes regional music videos in Haryanvi, Punjabi and Hindi languages. He has more than 12 lakh followers on Instagram and frequently shares photos with Bollywood stars.

Yadav has been linked to various criminal acts, including murder, extortion, forcing loan repayments for private financiers, fraud, cheating, unlawful land acquisition and violent crimes.
