The Economic Offences Unit in Bihar’s Kishanganj district raided four locations linked to District Programme Officer Ruby Kumari of the Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan, accusing her of holding assets 80% above her declared income.
The Economic Offences Unit (EOU) of Bihar launched a coordinated operation in Kishanganj district, targeting four premises associated with Ruby Kumari, the District Programme Officer of the Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan. The raids were carried out after the EOU filed a case alleging that her total assets exceed her known sources of income by about 80 percent.
According to the EOU, the investigation uncovered a significant disparity between Kumari's declared earnings and the value of properties, bank balances and other holdings linked to her name. The agency seized documents and conducted searches at the identified locations to substantiate the allegations.
The action underscores the state's intensified focus on curbing illicit wealth accumulation among public officials, particularly in the education sector. Kumari has been taken into custody for further questioning, and the EOU has indicated that formal charges may follow pending the outcome of the forensic audit.
Authorities have not disclosed the exact nature of the assets or the monetary value involved, citing ongoing investigative procedures. The case adds to a series of recent EOU operations across Bihar aimed at enforcing transparency and accountability among government functionaries.
