Bihar EOU Raids Engineer's Properties in Disproportionate Assets Case
Police officers in Bihar went to check the homes of a government worker named Sanjay Kumar.
They think he may have more money and things than his job could honestly pay for.
This is called having assets that are bigger than his known income.
The police searched three places, including his family home in Bihar Sharif and another property nearby.
They looked at papers like bank records, house documents, and locker keys.
Many police officers were there to keep everyone safe during the search.
The officers had permission from a court before they started.
They want to compare what they found with how much money he earns.
The police are still working and will tell everyone what they found later.
The Economic Offences Unit (EOU) of Bihar Police conducted simultaneous raids on Friday at properties linked to Executive Engineer Sanjay Kumar.
The searches were part of an alleged disproportionate assets case against Kumar, who is posted in the Road Construction Department in Khagaria district.
Three locations were searched: his ancestral residence in Mogalkuan, Bihar Sharif, a property in Baulipar, and another premises linked to the officer.
EOU teams examined property documents, bank passbooks, locker keys, investment records, and other financial papers during the searches.
The EOU verified confidential inputs, registered a case, and obtained a court-issued search warrant; it has not yet released an official account of recovered assets.
