The Bihar Mafia Asset Seizure Drive is picking up speed as the state government intensifies action against organised crime networks. Officials have identified around 1,600 mafia members who allegedly built huge assets using illegal income, both inside and outside Bihar.
Under the Bihar Mafia Asset Seizure Drive, authorities have already submitted property details linked to nearly 400 mafia figures to courts. These assets include land, flats, vehicles, and businesses linked to sand, land, and liquor rackets.
Many properties were registered in the names of relatives to escape scrutiny. Police teams are now collecting land records, mutation details, and registration data from revenue departments. Transport records are also under review to track vehicles bought with illegal money.
Technology is playing a key role. Agencies are using artificial intelligence to analyse data faster. Central bodies like the Income Tax Department, CBI, and ED are supporting the drive.
Financial records such as Aadhaar, PAN, bank accounts, and income tax returns are under close watch. Notices are being issued where mismatches appear.
A special valuation team will assess market value before court submission. Investigators are also verifying properties located outside Bihar with help from other states.
