**Enforcement Directorate Raids Fertility Centers in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana over Scam Allegations**

**HYDERABAD, INDIA – September 25, 2025** – The Enforcement Directorate (ED) today conducted coordinated raids across Hyderabad, Vijayawada, and Visakhapatnam targeting the Universal Srushti Fertility Centre and its head, A. Namratha, as part of a money laundering investigation.

The ED’s action stems from a series of First Information Reports (FIRs) filed against the fertility center since 2019, alleging serious irregularities including DNA mismatches in babies born through IVF, substitution of infants, and the collection of exorbitant fees without proper procedure implementation.

The investigation was initiated after numerous complaints from childless couples who say they were victims of fraud, leading Hyderabad police to file charges. The ED has now registered an Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR) to probe the flow of funds connected to the alleged scam.

“The searches are aimed at tracing the laundering trail and identifying assets acquired through alleged irregularities,” an ED official stated. The agency expects to take further action in the coming days as the investigation broadens across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.

The Srushti Fertility Centre and A. Namratha are being investigated under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
