After the arrest of Subhash Yadav, close to RJD supremo Lalu Prasad, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has now raided the residences of sand traders Punj Kumar Singh and Krishna Mohan Singh in Bhojpur. A 6-member ED team is raiding the residence of Krishna Mohan Singh located in Anand Nagar Mohalla of Nagar police station area. At the same time, a six-member team is also busy investigating the property at Punj Singh’s mansion in Dhandiha of Koilwar police station area. ED is investigating the movable and immovable assets of both the sand traders.
Krishna Mohan Singh also accused of revenue theft
According to the information, there is a case of revenue theft of more than Rs 250 crore against sand businessman Punj Kumar Singh. Based on this, ED is busy in its action. Sand traders Punj Kumar Singh and Krishna Mohan Singh have been directors of Broadson. At the same time, Krishna Mohan Singh is also accused of theft of sand revenue worth crores of rupees. At the same time, during the raid, any person has been clearly refused permission to go inside. ED officials are searching and interrogating many documents.
Action was taken against JDU MLC and his son
Earlier in September 2023, the Enforcement Directorate team had arrested JDU MLC Radha Charan Seth and his son Kanhaiya Kumar. Apart from these, Mithilesh Kumar Singh and Jagan Singh have been arrested and sent to jail. Recently, the ED team had also raided the residence of Sandesh’s former RJD MLA Arun Kumar Yadav. Here once again, early on Saturday morning, the Enforcement Directorate team simultaneously raided two big sand traders of the district.
All these cases are related to money laundering
Actually, all these cases are related to money laundering. Many secrets came to light after 20 FIRs were registered by Bihar Police against a company named Broadson Commodities Private Limited (BCPL) and its directors. It has been alleged that these people were engaged in illegal mining and sale of sand without using e-challan. This illegal sand business was controlled by a syndicate. The syndicate used to earn profits by selling illegal sand. Sources are describing Subhash Yadav as a “key syndicate” member in BCPL. ED has claimed that an income of Rs 161 crore was earned in this case.
