ED Raids Multiple Locations In Bihar Bridge Scam; Recovers Key Documents

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has intensified its action in the Bihar bridge construction scam. The agency is raiding properties linked to Sanjeev Hans, the former Managing Director of the Bridge Construction Department, and his associates.

ED teams are targeting three locations, including the residences and hotels of Sunil Kumar. He is a close associate of Hans and a former junior engineer at the department. Tathagat Hotel, reportedly owned by Kumar or his relatives, is also under scrutiny.

A significant police presence was deployed at these sites before the raids.

During the operation, ED officials recovered crucial documents. This action is part of an ongoing money laundering investigation against Sanjeev Hans, who is currently in Beur Jail, Patna. The case also involves former RJD MLA Gulab Yadav, arrested from Delhi.

So far, the ED has seized seven properties belonging to Hans. The agency has also filed a 20,000-page charge sheet against Hans, Yadav, and their associates, including Praveen Chaudhary and Pushpraj. The charge sheet names contractors linked to the Ministry of Energy and details illicit transactions.

The ED has attached properties worth Rs 23.72 crore, spanning locations in Delhi, Nagpur, and Jaipur. The investigation has also led to the seizure of mobiles, laptops, and other documents.

Authorities allege that Hans illegally amassed wealth and invested it in real estate. The ED has questioned his wife and other relatives. In recent weeks, the ED has conducted multiple raids and uncovered vital evidence linking Hans and his associates to money laundering activities.
