A mid-sized Hawker 800A with the registration number N935H purchased in 2024 for $1.6 million using alleged proceeds of crime.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has seized a private jet allegedly used by fugitive businessman Amardeep Kumar to flee the country amid an ongoing investigation into financial irregularities linked to Falcon Group (M/s Capital Protection Force Pvt. Ltd.).
According to ED sources, Kumar, Chairman and Managing Director of Falcon Group, fled the country on January 22 using the private jet owned by him through a charter company, Prestige Jets Inc.
The aircraft, a mid-sized Hawker 800A with the registration number N935H, was reportedly purchased in 2024 for $1.6 million using proceeds of the crime.
Investigators tracked the aircraft to Shamshabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, where it landed on March 7 morning. ED officials conducted a search, recorded statements from the crew and a close associate of Kumar, and subsequently seized the jet. Customs records confirmed that Kumar had fled the country along with an associate, Vivek Seth, on the same aircraft.
Earlier on February 21, Enforcement Directorate (ED) has recorded an Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR) following a FIR filed by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Cyberabad Police in connection with an alleged ₹850 crore ponzi scheme involving Falcon Invoice Discounting Platform.
