The Economic Offenses Unit (EOU) has cracked down on RWD engineer Vinod Rai in an illegal property case. Raids took place in Patna, Samastipur, and Sitamarhi. Officials linked the action to disproportionate assets that exceed his known income.
Vinod Rai is accused of amassing over ₹100 crore through corruption and bribes. Fresh charges now point to illegal assets worth ₹3.38 crore. Earlier, during a raid at his Patna house, officers found luxury cars, multiple bank accounts, jewelry worth ₹26 lakh, and insurance documents. Cash was also burnt by Rai and his wife to erase evidence. Later, charred notes were discovered in drains.
The latest raids targeted Adarsh Nagar in Samastipur, Agamkuan in Patna, and Sitamarhi. Officials reported more hidden properties. A fresh case (No. 24/2025 dated 10.09.2025) was filed against him. On August 22, investigators seized crores in movable and immovable assets.
Vinod Rai has now been arrested. His illegal property case has become a major corruption scandal in Bihar. The crackdown shows the government’s focus on exposing bribery and misuse of public office.
