The Bihar revenue department has suspended Musahri sub‑division’s former revenue officer Karun Karan over alleged fraud concerning about 70 dismal acres linked to retired IAS officer Vijay Kumar.
The revenue administration in Bihar has taken decisive action by suspending Karun Karan, who was serving as the revenue officer for the Musahri sub‑division of Muzaffarpur district. The suspension follows allegations that he was involved in a fraudulent scheme concerning roughly 70 dismal acres of land associated with retired IAS officer Vijay Kumar.
According to the department’s statement, the land in question spans about 70 dismal acres and was allegedly misrepresented in official records to benefit the retired officer. The investigation suggests that falsified documents were used to claim ownership or to manipulate revenue entries.
Karun Karan’s past legal troubles were also noted; he has previously been incarcerated on unrelated charges, raising concerns about his suitability for a senior revenue position. The department has ordered a thorough inquiry and has directed that any further irregularities be reported immediately.
The suspension remains in effect while the investigation proceeds, and the revenue department has warned that any proven misconduct could lead to stricter disciplinary measures, including termination and legal prosecution.
