ED Seizes 5 Properties Worth ₹2 Crore Over Bihar Constable Recruitment Leak

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) announced on Thursday that it has attached five properties in Bihar, with a combined value of about ₹2 crore, following the discovery of a 2023 constable recruitment paper leak. The attachment is part of a broader investigation into the illicit distribution of exam papers that could have compromised the integrity of the recruitment process. The properties, located in various districts of Bihar, are under temporary seizure pending further inquiry.
The ED stated that the seized assets were linked to individuals believed to be involved in the procurement and dissemination of the leaked papers. The Directorate is working with state authorities to trace the full extent of the corruption and to recover any losses incurred by the government.
This move underscores the central government’s commitment to cracking down on corruption in public sector recruitment, a sector that has faced repeated scrutiny over the years.
