In Ludhiana, the growing network of Hawala is being exposed: wires connected to foreign countries, and big players are still out of police reach.

The Ludhiana area of India is once again on the radar of investigative agencies due to a hawala network. Police and central agencies have exposed large hawala networks over the past several years, and many operators have been arrested. Despite this, the hawala business in the city does not seem to be slowing down. Investigations repeatedly reveal that the links of this network are connected to foreign countries as well as other states within the country. The police action is targeting small operators.
