On December 10, 2025, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) Patna Zonal Office provisionally attached immovable property worth about ₹1.52 crore. This property is linked to Shivendra Priyadarshi, former Director Inspector General (DIG) of Prison & Correctional Services, Bihar. The attachments cover two flats in Patna and various movable assets like bank balances, gold, silver ornaments, fixed deposits, and investments in KVPs, NSCs, and mutual funds. The ED action is based on the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002. The investigation followed an FIR filed in 2017 and a chargesheet in 2023 by the Special Vigilance Unit of Patna. These documents allege corrupt practices against Priyadarshi under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (now Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita) and the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. According to the ED, Shivendra Priyadarshi misused his positions posted across Bihar, including Sasaram, Benipur, Gopalganj, Siwan, and Patna, from June 1993 to May 2017. He generated illegal proceeds that were partly deposited into family members' bank accounts and disguised as gifts through relatives. These funds were used to purchase properties and investments, which were disproportionate to his known income by ₹1,52,47,491. The ED has stated that the investigation is ongoing.
