Bihar IAS Officer and Ex-MLA Arrested for Money Laundering

Former RJD MLA Gulab Yadav and IAS officer Sanjeev Hans have been arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with a money laundering case linked to a tender scam in Bihar's energy department. Yadav was apprehended in Delhi and brought to Patna, maintaining his innocence and claiming he was framed for political reasons. Hans, previously serving as principal secretary in the energy department, was arrested at his official residence in Patna. The case involves multiple accused, with allegations of benami properties linked to illicit financial activities, and has further complexities due to a sexual harassment complaint against both men. The ED's investigation is part of a broader crackdown on corruption and financial misconduct within the government. Both individuals are now facing serious legal challenges as the ED continues its inquiries into their financial dealings.
