The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has arrested four individuals, including the former CEO of the Vaishali Shahri Vikas Co-operative Bank, in connection with an alleged bank loan fraud amounting to ₹85 crore. This investigation is linked to a cooperative bank promoted by RJD member and former minister Alok Kumar Mehta. The ED's actions follow a series of raids related to the case, which has also implicated relatives of the former CEO. In a separate investigation, Congress State President Jitu Patwari reported that properties worth approximately ₹100 crore, along with ₹11 crore in cash and 55 kilograms of gold, were seized during the investigation into Saurabh Sharma, another case being pursued by the ED. The ED continues to investigate various financial irregularities, including a liquor scam in Chhattisgarh, as part of its broader efforts against money laundering and corruption.
