Patna/Saharsa: The Economic Offenses Unit (EOU) of Bihar Police simultaneously raided four locations linked to Saharsa District Program Officer (DPO) Ajit Amar in a disproportionate assets case. The raids uncovered assets worth crores belonging to DPO Ajit Amar. Despite receiving a salary of Rs 38 lakh over four years since joining government service in 2022, Amar allegedly accumulated assets exceeding Rs 1 crore, including land, a house, vehicles, and jewelry, during the same period.

According to Bihar Police Headquarters, after verifying information from reliable sources, the EOU registered case number 17/26 against Ajit Amar on August 6. Preliminary investigations revealed that Amar allegedly acquired assets worth Rs 62.20 lakh more than his known sources of income, which is approximately 72.35 percent higher than his legitimate earnings. However, the raids uncovered assets far exceeding the EOU's initial expectations.

According to the EOU, last year, Ajit Amar purchased over 6 bighas of land in Saran district in his wife's name, valued at Rs 41.50 lakh. He also constructed a house in his ancestral village in Siwan at a cost of Rs 40 lakh.

Following the registration of the case, EOU teams, led by DSP-rank officers, simultaneously raided four locations connected to Ajit Amar. These included his ancestral home in Raini village, under Darauli police station in Siwan district; his rented residence in Naya Bazar, Saharsa; his office room in Saharsa; and his government residence in Gandak Colony, Chhapra.

During the search operation, officials seized documents related to Amar's movable and immovable properties, bank accounts, investments, financial transactions, and other crucial records. Mobile phones, laptops, and other records are also being scrutinized. The registration of a disproportionate assets case and the subsequent raids have caused a stir.
