The Enforcement Directorate has attached five properties valued at about Rs 2 crore in connection with the 2023 Bihar constable recruitment paper leak.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has attached five assets across Bihar, with a combined estimated worth of Rs 2 crore, as part of its probe into the alleged leak of the 2023 constable recruitment examination paper.
The 2023 Bihar constable recruitment exam was clouded by accusations that the question paper had been illicitly circulated, prompting investigations by state police and central agencies. By seizing the properties, the ED aims to prevent the disposal of proceeds and to exert pressure on those suspected of involvement.
According to officials, the attached assets comprise both residential and commercial premises. The agency has indicated that the seizure is a preliminary step and that further financial trails will be pursued. No arrests have been publicly announced, and the investigation remains ongoing.
The move reflects heightened governmental focus on curbing corruption and malpractice in public service recruitment processes.
