The recovered cash was linked to the household help of Sanjiv Lal, who serves as the personal secretary to Alamgir Alam, in connection with the Veerendra Ram case.
Veerendra K Ram, a former chief engineer accused of accumulating properties worth Rs 100 crore, was at the center of the investigation. In February 2023, the ED had arrested Virendra K Ram, then the chief engineer at the Jharkhand Rural Development Department, in connection with a money laundering case related to suspected irregularities in the implementation of certain schemes.
During the raid, authorities also seized a pen drive containing alleged transaction records involving several Jharkhand politicians, further intensifying the scrutiny surrounding the case.
