Major ED Crackdown: IAS Officer Sanjiv Hans and MLA Gulab Yadav Arrested in Patna

Sanjeev Hans, a 1997 batch IAS officer, was apprehended by the ED team at his official residence in Patna. The agency has alleged that Hans has acquired benami properties worth crores in Punjab's Mohali and Kasauli. These properties are believed to be linked to illicit financial activities, prompting the ED to take action against him. The investigation suggests that Sanjeev Hans has been involved in the acquisition of these significant assets, raising questions about the source of the wealth. Alongside him, Gulab Yadav, a former MLA and reportedly a close associate of Hans, was also arrested in the operation. The ED's actions come as part of a broader crackdown on money laundering and corruption within government ranks, aiming to bring to light any potential financial misconduct. Both arrests highlight the agency's commitment to pursuing cases involving high-profile individuals and addressing issues of accountability within the public sector. Further investigations are expected to delve deeper into the financial dealings of both individuals.
