Title: Bhojpur-Buxar MLC Radhacharan Sah Arrested by ED for Illegal Money and Property Acquisition
Introduction:
Bhojpur-cum-Buxar Legislative Councilor Radhacharan Sah, also known as Seth, has been arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on charges of illegally acquiring money and property. The central agencies had been investigating Seth for the past seven months, and evidence related to property investments and illegal transactions was found on his mobile phone. This evidence has posed a significant challenge for Seth and his family, who are now under scrutiny by the ED.
Investigation Reveals Important Clues:
During the investigation, the ED team discovered crucial clues related to investments and transactions on the smart mobile phone of Seth and his son. This discovery prompted the ED to take action, resulting in the arrest of MLC Sah from his residence in Anaith-Bihari Mill. There is a possibility that his son may also face arrest. However, the ED has not officially disclosed the details of the evidence found on the mobile phone.
Failure to Appear Before ED:
It is reported that the ED had summoned Seth and his son Kanhaiya for questioning on September 11. However, both of them failed to appear at the ED office in Patna for the second time. The MLC cited ill health as the reason for his absence. Earlier, on August 29, the ED had sent a notice to Seth and his son, summoning them to the Patna office. Seth had visited the ED office on August 31 for a nine-hour interrogation regarding his sand business and his association with sand traders. On September 1, Kanhaiya Sah, Seth’s son, was questioned for six hours about his involvement in the sand business.
ED Suspects Investments in Other States:
The Enforcement Directorate team suspects that MLC Sah has made significant illegal investments in other states. This suspicion led to simultaneous raids on 28 locations, including Arrah, Patna, Kullu-Manali, Haridwar, Noida, Ghaziabad, Jharkhand, and Delhi on February 7 by the Income Tax team. The raids revealed a connection between Seth and a hotel in Manali, where helicopter transportation was allegedly arranged on a daily basis.
