PATNA: The Bihar Special Vigilance Unit (SVU) on Thursday carried out simultaneous raids at two locations linked to DSP Abhay Kumar Yadav of the Liquor Prohibition Department in connection with a disproportionate assets case, officials said.
The raids, conducted on the directions of ADG (Law and Order) Pankaj Darad and DIG Vikash Kumar, were carried out at a rented house in Afar Tola, Phulwari Sharif, Patna, and at Yadav’s ancestral home under Khagaria Town Police Station limits.
The search operation is being conducted under a warrant issued by the Patna Special Vigilance Court, following allegations that Yadav amassed assets disproportionate to his known sources of income during his tenure in the prohibition department -- a key unit enforcing Bihar’s liquor ban.
