The ED Seizure in Corruption Case has brought major attention in Bihar. The Enforcement Directorate seized movable and immovable assets worth ₹1.52 crore from former Jail DIG Shivendra Priyadarshi. These assets include two flats in Patna, bank deposits, gold and silver jewellery, fixed deposits, and other investments.
The ED Seizure in Corruption Case began after officials found that the assets were bought using illegal income collected over several years.
The investigation started after the Special Vigilance Unit filed an FIR in 2017. The agency found that the officer had taken money through corrupt practices during his postings in Sasaram, Benipur, Gopalganj, Siwan, and Patna. He also deposited part of the illegal money into the bank accounts of family members. Some funds were hidden with the help of relatives and shown as gifts.
These illegal earnings were later invested in property, deposits, KVPs, NSCs, and mutual funds. The total value of all assets is estimated at more than ₹1.52 crore. The investigation is still going on.
