ED Attaches Rs 22 Crore Property Of Former RJD MLA Arun Yadav In Money Laundering Case

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has attached property worth Rs 22 crore belonging to former RJD MLA Arun Yadav, a close aide of former Bihar Chief Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav. The ED took this action in connection with a case of illegal mining and money laundering. Arun Yadav’s wife, Kiran Devi, who is currently an MLA, is also implicated.

According to the ED, four properties previously owned by former Chief Minister Rabri Devi were transferred to Kiran Devi in Danapur, Bihar. The agency had raided Yadav’s premises in February 2024, uncovering documents related to over 55 properties.

Properties and Documents Seized in Raids

The ED’s investigation focused on where and how these properties were acquired and the financial transactions involved. Between 2015 and 2022, Yadav and his family are alleged to have acquired illegal movable and immovable assets.

The case against Arun Yadav and Kiran Devi stems from 16 FIRs filed across various police stations in Ara district.

ED’s Action Follows Long Investigation

The ED registered a case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act in 2021. Statements from Arun Yadav and his family were recorded. Arun Yadav, a major sand trader in Bhojpur, allegedly amassed wealth through the sand business.

Due to Yadav’s absconding status, his wife Kiran Devi was given an RJD ticket in the last election and won from the Sandesh constituency.
