The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has initiated raids in Rajasthan concerning the Jharkhand mining scam. The ED team targeted the premises of Ramniwas Yadav, Deputy Collector of Sahibganj, Jharkhand, and conducted searches at various locations in Jaipur. The raids, ongoing since Wednesday morning, focus on seizing documents related to the investigation.
Notably, the ED did not contact local authorities during the operation. The money laundering case, linked to illegal mining, involves raids at the residences of individuals close to the Chief Minister in Ranchi, including IAS officer Ramniwas Yadav, Khodniya Brothers of Sahibganj, Press Advisor to Jharkhand CM, former MLA Pappu Yadav, and DSP Rajendra Dubey.
