As part of the money laundering probe against Jharkhand IAS officer Pooja Singhal and others, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Friday seized around Rs 3 crore in cash during searches in Hazaribag district.
They said bundles of cash, mostly in denominations of Rs 500 and a few notes of Rs 2,000, were seized from the premises of a person identified as Mohammed E Ansari.
The agency recovered the cash while raids were being conducted as part of an ongoing money laundering investigation against Singhal.
Pooja Singhal, a 2000-batch Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer, was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on May 11 on charges of money laundering linked to alleged irregularities in the MGNREGA scheme. In February, the Supreme Court granted the suspended officer interim bail for two months so that she could look after her ailing daughter.
The ED is probing her role in alleged irregularities in the state's mining sector also in a second case filed under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
