In a major crackdown, the Economic Offences Unit conducted extensive raids on properties linked to Manoj Rajak, an executive engineer in the electricity department of Bihar. During the operation, officials reportedly uncovered assets worth more than ₹100 crore, triggering a high profile investigation into suspected disproportionate wealth.
Authorities revealed that the seized assets include land purchases along key national highways, as well as documentation of 31 separate land deals. In addition to real estate holdings, the raids also exposed ownership of a tea estate and a gas agency located in Araria, indicating diversified investments.
One of the most striking findings was a residential property in Nepal, allegedly registered in the name of a close associate. This has raised further questions about the extent of asset concealment and cross border financial links.
The case highlights ongoing efforts by enforcement agencies to tackle corruption and monitor unexplained wealth among public officials. Investigations are expected to continue as authorities examine financial records, ownership patterns, and possible violations of anti corruption laws.
