The Special Vigilance Unit (SVU) has registered a fresh case against suspended IAS officer Mr. Sanjeev Hans (1997 batch) and alleged middleman Mr. Rishu Ranjan Sinha, also known as Rishu Shree. The FIR, based on findings from an Enforcement Directorate (ED) probe into money laundering, was filed on April 30 and officially submitted to the court on Friday.

Confirming the registration of the FIR, Mr. Pankaj Darad, Additional Director General (ADG) of the SVU, stated that the action stems from significant evidence uncovered by the ED during its investigation. According to the agency, Mr. Rishu Sinha acted as an intermediary in financial transactions between government officials and contractors, operating on behalf of Mr. Hans.

“Earlier, a case of disproportionate assets (DA) was registered against Mr. Hans in May last year after the ED uncovered substantial unaccounted wealth. The latest case includes both Mr. Hans and his close associate Mr. Rishu,” said Mr. Darad.

Mr. Rishu Sinha is reported to be a government contractor who established multiple firms. The ED found that he earned commissions—often around 5%—for brokering deals between contractors and officials, and later took subcontracts for the same projects.

Additionally, Mr. Darad said Rishu managed complex financial dealings for Mr. Hans and other officials. The ED unearthed 61 property sale deeds worth around Rs. 59 crore, registered in the names of Rishu and close associates of Mr. Hans. Notably, two petrol stations—one in Vaishali and another in Patna—were also found to be registered under their names.

The investigation continues, with further action expected as authorities delve deeper into the network of financial transactions and shell companies allegedly tied to the suspended IAS officer.
