In Bihar, EOU was raided at the house of engineer Vinod Kumar Rai, who burnt crores of notes. Wife and family are absconding and Patna’s residence has been sealed. Strict action continues in the disproportionate assets case.
Patna: As part of a campaign against corruption in Bihar, the Economic Offenses Unit (EO) has once again raided the locations of Vinod Kumar Rai, Superintending Engineer of Rural Affairs Department. This action has been taken under the new case of financial inquiry and disproportionate assets. The EOU team reached Vinod Kumar Rai’s locations in Patna, Samastipur and Sitamarhi on Thursday, but as soon as the team reached his residence in Patna, all the family members, including Vinod’s wife, escaped and escaped.
Eou sealed housing
After this strict action, the EOU has sealed the engineer’s residence in Patna. Officials said that now further legal action will be taken after getting a warrant for arrest and investigation from the court. Vinod Rai’s wife is already accused in a corruption case and EOU is also preparing for his arrest.
Fire was set in crores notes
According to the information, Vinod Kumar Rai is accused of creating a unique property worth crores. Last week too, several locations were raided under the investigation of his assets, in which crores of rupees and jewelery were seized. A few months ago, when the EOU raided his Patna residence, Vinod and his wife burnt crores of notes and dumped it into the drain, causing the drainage to be jammed. The incident gave more seriousness to the whole matter.
Preparation of strict action
EOU is constantly active in investigating alleged corruption and black money earnings in departmental works. There is a preparation for strict action against Vinod Rai and his family in this case. Simultaneous raids in Patna, Samastipur and Sitamarhi have revealed that the source of Vinod Rai’s property is quite suspicious. Investigation agencies are compiling their documents, bank accounts, and secret assets.
Warrant may be released soon
It is feared that warrants may be issued against Vinod Kumar Rai and his wife, including his wife, which will make his situation even more serious. This case of corruption has again focused on the need for administrative accountability in Bihar, and efforts are being made to increase confidence in the government in the general public.
