New Delhi: 2002-batch IPS officer Sonia Narang, who served as Special Director in the Enforcement Directorate (ED), has been relieved from her post. She previously handled high-profile cases, including investigations against Vivo, PFI, IFFCO, Ambience Group, Sukhpal Khaira, and the Khan Market money laundering matter.
Narang, promoted as Special Director in 2022, oversaw the central region and the Special Task Force (STF) of the ED. She also led key probes, including the money laundering case against the banned Popular Front of India (PFI) and Maoist-linked financial networks.
Prashant Kumar, Special Director (Southern Range), will now assume her responsibilities. The ED, operating under the Union Finance Ministry, enforces anti-money laundering laws, including the PMLA and the Fugitive Economic Offenders Act.
The agency has nine Special Director posts, the second-highest rank after the ED Director. Alongside Narang, Satyabrata Kumar, a 2004-batch IRS officer, was also appointed Special Director in 2022, handling the western region.
No official reason has been cited for Narang’s transfer back to her parent cadre in Karnataka.
