The Enforcement Directorate conducted searches at the premises of Lalu Yadav’s close aide Subhash Yadav and several other places in Bihar’s capital city Patna on Saturday (March 9) in connection with illegal sand mining case.
Subhash Yadav has also contested the Lok Sabha elections on RJD ticket. It is alleged that Subhash Yadav runs the business of illegal sand mining in Bihar.
The money laundering case stems from some FIRs filed by the Bihar Police earlier.
Even before this, the Income Tax Department had raided the premises of Subhash Yadav. In 2018, actions were taken in Patna, Delhi and Dhanbad. In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Subhash Yadav had contested as an RJD candidate from Chatra in Jharkhand, however, he lost the election.
