ED Cracks Down on Tender Scam in Jharkhand with Raids Across 18 Locations Under PMLA

In a major development, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has reportedly seized approximately Rs 3 crore in cash from the premises of Heera Bhagat. Bhagat is known to be a close associate of Pankaj Mishra, who is the MLA representative of Chief Minister Hemant Soren.

According to sources, the ED carried out the search operation at Bhagat’s premises in connection with an ongoing investigation into alleged financial irregularities. During the raid, the ED officials uncovered a stash of cash amounting to Rs 3 crore.

The seizure of such a large amount of cash has raised eyebrows, especially given Bhagat’s association with Mishra, who is a prominent figure in Jharkhand politics. The incident has sparked speculation about the possible involvement of political figures in the alleged financial irregularities.

This is not the first time that the ED has carried out such a search operation in Jharkhand. In recent months, the agency has been cracking down on several cases of money laundering and financial fraud in the state.

The incident has sent shockwaves through the political establishment in Jharkhand, with opposition parties demanding a thorough investigation into the matter. As the investigation continues, it remains to be seen what other revelations will emerge in this case.
