The Enforcement Directorate has conducted ED raids in Delhi, Gurugram, and Surat as part of a money laundering investigation involving Patna-based contractor Rishu Shree. These ED raids in Delhi, Gurugram, and Surat were carried out at nine locations across the country.
According to officials, the searches were conducted under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). Locations raided included Ahmedabad, Surat, Gurugram, and Delhi. During the operation, officers recovered around ₹33 lakh in cash, several digital devices, diaries, and important documents. All seized items have been taken into custody for forensic examination.
The probe began after an FIR filed in May 2025 by Bihar’s Special Vigilance Unit against Rishu Shree and others. Investigators allege that Rishu Shree worked as a contractor and sub-contractor in multiple Bihar government departments and paid large commissions to officials to secure contracts.
His name had also appeared earlier in another case connected to IAS officer Sanjeev Hans. The ED believes the latest evidence may help establish a link between the financial transactions and alleged illegal payments.
The investigation is still ongoing, and more actions are expected as the ED examines the seized materials.
