The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted raids in Bihar related to job scams in the railways, targeting fake training centers.
On Thursday, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) carried out raids in Bihar’s Muzaffarpur and Motihari. This action was part of a larger investigation into a scam involving fake job placements in the railway and other government sectors.
In Muzaffarpur, the ED team reached a location where a man named Kameshwar Pandey was living. As soon as he saw the ED officers, he escaped through the roof, leaving the team to search his house for about six hours.
The ED officials shared that they were looking into a network that promised jobs in the railway sector. They searched the home of Kameshwar, who is related to the main suspect in the case, Rajendra Tiwari. However, they did not disclose what they found during the search.

Following these raids, Kameshwar was asked by his landlord to vacate the house. His family, which includes his wife and children, has been involved in local business activities, but they have been hesitant to share more information regarding the ongoing investigation.
