The Bihar IAS tender scam has come into focus after the Enforcement Directorate uncovered serious evidence against two senior IAS officers. The Bihar IAS tender scam involves allegations that contractor Rishu Shree sponsored foreign trips and paid huge commissions to secure government contracts.
According to officials, Patna-based contractor Rishu Shree arranged a Europe tour for the families of IAS officers Yogesh Kumar Sagar and Abhilasha Sharma. In return, he allegedly received support in getting key government tenders. Sources say he even paid ₹9 lakh for gardening work at Abhilasha Sharma’s residence.
The Enforcement Directorate carried out raids at nine locations, including Ahmedabad, Surat, Gurugram, and Delhi. Officers recovered ₹3.3 million in cash, digital devices, diaries, and documents linked to the money laundering case.
This action follows a 2025 FIR filed by the Special Vigilance Unit (SVU) of Bihar. The SVU has now begun legal steps against both IAS officers. Investigators say Rishu Shree worked as a contractor and sub-contractor in several Bihar government departments. He also paid large commissions to officials to win contracts.
His name earlier surfaced during ED action against IAS officer Sanjeev Hans. The investigation is still continuing.
