Why ED tightens noose on former RJD MLA Arun Yadav?
Reportedly ED has taken major action against former RJD mla Arun Yadav, who is very close to the family of former bihar Chief minister Lalu prasad Yadav. ED has attached property worth about Rs 22 crore in the money laundering case. However, as of today, the market value of this property is many times more than Rs 22 crore. This action has been taken in the money laundering case related to illegal mining.
Perhaps ED has issued a press release on wednesday stating that 46 immovable properties have been finally attached under PMLA, 2002 in the money laundering case against former RJD mla Arun Yadav, his wife kiran Devi and his two sons Rajesh Kumar, Deepu Singh as well as M/s kiran Durga Construction Private Limited (family-owned company) and others, worth about Rs 19.32 crore. The available balance of Rs 2.05 crore in bank accounts is a total of Rs 21.38 crore (approx). The immovable properties are located in Agiaon village of Bhojpur district and posh areas of Patna.
Moreover bihar Police had registered four FIRs registered against Arun Yadav and others under various sections of IPC, 1860 and Arms Act, 1959. ED has started investigation in this case. It is alleged that Arun Yadav has also been involved in heinous crimes and illegal sand mining. ED investigation has revealed that during the period 2014-15 to 2022-23, Arun Yadav and his family members have acquired 40 parcels of agricultural land (about Rs 3.04 crore) through cash. He has also acquired 4 flats in Danapur (about Rs 2.56 crore) and a commercial land (Rs 3.44 crore) in Patliputra Colony, Patna, bihar, using substantial cash to acquire them.
