PATNA: Separate teams of the Special Vigilance Unit (SVU) of Bihar conducted simultaneous raids on Friday at three locations linked to Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Sanjeev Kumar in Patna, Jehanabad, and Khagaria in connection with a disproportionate assets case.
The raids began at 7 a.m. after the SVU registered an FIR against the senior police officer and obtained a warrant from the Special Vigilance Court in Patna on Thursday.
