PATNA: The Economic Offences Unit (EOU) of state police on Wednesday raided the residential premises and office of Rupaspur police station SHO Madhusudan on the charges of accumulating assets disproportionate to his known sources of income.
Simultaneous searches carried out at his residence in Anand Vihar Colony in Patna and his ancestral home at Chowram in Aurangabad district revealed that Madhusudan allegedly amassed assets worth Rs 87 lakh, which is more than 62.67% of his known sources of income, by conniving with sand smugglers. He was appointed as sub-inspector in 2009 and served at Maner in rural Patna and Gaya district.
The EOU registered a disproportionate assets (DA) case against him on Tuesday and conducted the raids after procuring search warrants. The EOU sleuths unearthed over Rs 47 lakh deposited in the bank accounts of Madhusudan and his wife. His total movable assets have been found to be worth Rs 61,91,400. The EOU team recovered Rs 8.93 lakh in cash from his home, bank passbooks, property papers and documents related to huge investments in insurance policies.
