Patna: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Saturday conducted raids at the residence and a college build by Bihar’s topper scamster Amit Kumar alias Baccha Yadav.
The ED officials searched the residence of the accused in Kiratpur Rajaram and also in Bhagwanpur block where the accused has constructed the college.
In 2016, Amit Kumar was involved in Bihar topper scam when candidates passed various examinations having forged documents. He is also accused of constructing buildings on the lands seized by ED.

The 42 dismil land was registered in the name of Amit’s father Rajdeo Rai in Kiratpur Mauja. The ED had seized the property under money laundering act on October 15, 2018.
The ED Additional Director Rajiv Ranjan had lodged an FIR on November 18 in Bhagwanpur police station while informing the police in Patna and district magistrate of Vaishali as well.
