Bihar EOU Searches Four Premises Linked to Corporation GM
Bihar police are investigating Kamlesh Kumar, a government engineering official.
They suspect he may have assets worth more than his known income.
The Economic Offences Unit searched four places connected to him.
These included a family property, two locations in Patna, and his office.
The agency estimates the suspected excess assets at Rs 3.12 crore.
Officers are checking documents, financial records, and other materials.
A court gave permission for the searches.
The investigation is still underway, so the allegation has not yet been proven.
Bihar's Economic Offences Unit searched four premises linked to Kamlesh Kumar, a General Manager (Technical).
The searches concern an alleged disproportionate-assets case involving an estimated Rs 3.12 crore.
The agency said the alleged assets were about 103.30 per cent higher than Kumar's known legitimate income.
Searches covered properties in Jandaha and Patna, along with Kumar's government office.
The investigation remains ongoing, and the alleged disproportionate assets have not been finally established.
