The Economic Offences Unit conducted simultaneous raids at four locations of the Bihar State Building Construction Corporation and lodged an FIR against its technical GM, Kamlesh Kumar, for possessing assets disproportionate to his known income.
Muzaffarpur, Bihar – In a coordinated anti‑corruption operation, the Economic Offences Unit (EOU) of the state police swept four premises linked to the Bihar State Building Construction Corporation Ltd. The raids targeted the offices and residences associated with the corporation's technical general manager, Kamlesh Kumar.
During the searches, investigators seized documents, financial records and valuables that they say indicate Kumar holds assets well beyond the earnings declared in his official disclosures. Based on the evidence, the EOU filed a First Information Report (FIR) charging him with possession of disproportionate assets, a violation under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
The action underscores the state government's intensified drive to curb corruption in public sector undertakings. Officials declined to comment on the specifics of the seized items, citing the ongoing investigation. Kumar has not yet made a public statement.
The case adds to a series of recent probes into irregularities within state‑run construction and infrastructure agencies, reflecting broader efforts to ensure transparency and accountability in the use of public funds.
