The ED conducted fresh searches at seven locations in Patna, targeting other officials, including Mumukshu Chaudhary (joint secretary in Bihar\u2019s finance department) and Umesh Kumar Singh (executive engineer in the Urban Development and Housing Department).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Allegations Against Sanjeev Hans<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sanjeev Hans, a 1997-batch IAS officer and former principal secretary of Bihar\u2019s energy department, is under investigation for allegedly amassing illicit wealth. The ED suspects corrupt dealings during his tenure in Bihar and while on central deputation from 2018 to 2023. Authorities are examining potential benami transactions and undisclosed assets linked to his name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shocking Cash Recovery at Tarini Das&#8217; Residence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to sources, ED officials were alerted to large sums of unaccounted cash tied to illegal dealings. Upon entering Das\u2019 residence, investigators reportedly discovered multiple rooms filled with currency notes. The sheer volume of cash has raised concerns about widespread corruption within the state&#8217;s administrative machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Expanding Investigation and Potential Implications<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Authorities believe several officials and contractors involved in government tenders could be implicated in the probe. The ED continues to examine financial records and transaction histories to identify further irregularities. With the Bihar government taking swift action against Das, more dismissals and legal proceedings may follow as the investigation unfolds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbctv18.com\/photos\/india\/ed-raid-in-bihar-bungalow-leaves-officers-counting-cash-non-stop-for-8-hours-using-4-machines-19581785.htm\">Image Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a major crackdown on corruption, the Bihar government has removed Tarini Das from his post after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) seized \u20b911.64 crore in unaccounted cash from his home.
