The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has seized a massive sum of Rs 11.64 crore during raids conducted in connection with a money laundering case involving Bihar IAS officer Sanjeev Hans. The federal probe agency carried out searches across seven locations in Patna, Bihar’s capital, targeting government officials and engineers allegedly involved in bribery.

According to the statement released by the Enforcement Directorate, the raids focused on the premises of several key officials, including:

  • Tarini Das, Chief Engineer, Bihar Construction Department (BCD)
  • Mumukshu Chaudhary, Joint Secretary, Bihar Government’s Finance Department
  • Umesh Kumar Singh, Executive Engineer, Urban Development and Housing Department (UDHD)

Other individuals targeted include:

  • Ayaz Ahmed, Deputy Project Director, Bihar Urban Infrastructure Development Corporation Ltd.
  • Sagar Jaiswal, DGM (Projects), Bihar Medical Services and Infrastructure Corporation Ltd. (BMSICL)
  • Vikash Jha, DGM, BMSICL
  • Saket Kumar, Executive Engineer, Bihar Construction Department (BCD)

Officials involved in the case are accused of accepting bribery money in exchange for clearing bills and providing “favorable” outcomes in various tenders.

The Enforcement Directorate’s investigation has revealed links to money laundering operations. In November last year, the agency seized shares worth Rs 60 crore in demat accounts belonging to family members of an associate of Sanjeev Hans. Additionally, 70 bank accounts were found to be involved in layering and laundering funds.

In an earlier phase of the investigation, the ED’s Patna Zonal office had raided 13 locations in cities such as Delhi, Gurgaon, Kolkata, Jaipur, and Nagpur, focusing on associates of Hans and others in the real estate and service sectors, further connecting them to the ongoing money laundering activities related to the case.
