Bihar EOU seizes ₹87 lakh in cash, jewellery from engineer's home

The Economic Offences Unit (EOU) of Bihar Police recovered ₹52 lakh in cash and ornaments valued at ₹35 lakh during coordinated searches at multiple locations, part of an investigation into a government executive engineer. The operation targeted five premises spread across Patna, Muzaffarpur, Bhagalpur and Munger in a single coordinated action. The searches were conducted in connection with a case registered against the engineer, though specific allegations were not detailed in official statements. The simultaneous nature of the raids across different districts suggests a large-scale operation aimed at preventing the suspected movement or concealment of assets. Authorities have yet to release further details regarding the charges against the engineer or the circumstances that prompted the investigation.
