Patna: The Bihar Special Vigilance Unit (SVU) has filed a First Information Report (FIR) against suspended IAS officer Sanjeev Hans and Rishu Ranjan Sinha, also known as Rishu Shri, in connection with a money laundering case. The FIR was registered following strong evidence submitted by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), pointing to financial irregularities and criminal misconduct.
SVU’s Additional Director General, Pankaj Darad, confirmed the lodging of the FIR, stating that the case involves serious allegations linked to illicit financial transactions. The move signals mounting trouble for the two individuals, as the investigation now gains momentum under the combined scrutiny of the SVU and the ED.
Sanjeev Hans, a senior bureaucrat previously holding influential administrative positions in Bihar, had been under the scanner for some time. Rishu Ranjan Sinha, known in certain circles as Rishu Shri, is also being probed for his alleged role in facilitating illegal transactions.
The SVU has taken the action based on the detailed report and documentary proof shared by the ED, which has been actively investigating money laundering activities involving multiple individuals across Bihar.
This development is likely to have wider implications, with sources indicating that further names may surface as the investigation deepens. Authorities have not ruled out additional arrests or raids in the coming days.
