Patna: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is conducting raids at three locations, from Patna to Delhi, in connection with a money laundering case involving IAS officer Sanjeev Hans. The investigation into Hans has intensified, with ED recently filing a new case against him under the Money Laundering Act. Evidence has also surfaced implicating Hans’s wife and several of his relatives, prompting the current action.
In an earlier raid, ED had seized ₹90 lakh in cash and 13 kg of silver bars from properties linked to Sanjeev Hans and former RJD MLA Gulab Yadav. Additionally, documents and electronic evidence related to Benami properties were recovered during the search, adding to the mounting allegations against Hans and his associates.
On Wednesday, ED searched four locations associated with Hans and Yadav in Delhi, Kolkata, and Mumbai. This followed an earlier raid two months ago, where the ED targeted a dozen locations, including Patna, Pune, Punjab, Delhi, and Noida, as part of its ongoing investigation into money laundering activities.
The current raids are part of a larger probe into the financial dealings of Hans and his network, as the ED continues to uncover more evidence linked to illicit properties and unexplained wealth.
