The ED started the investigation in this case after the then SSP of Patna Rajiv Mishra submitted a supervision report, which clearly mentioned the transaction of money on a large scale. It was clearly mentioned in this report that the victim has accused the IAS officer of gang rape.
The report sought to trace the source of the funds involved. The surveillance report also mentioned that Sanjeev Hans had purchased a resort in Chandigarh in the name of Suresh Prasad Singhla for Rs 95 crore, following which ED officials raided the offices of his construction firm.
The accused were charged with criminal sexual assault, blackmailing the victim by making her pornographic videos. Not only this, the victim was forced to undergo abortion after the sexual assault. The observation report claimed that IAS Sanjeev Hans is clearly connected to the case.
After the ED action, the Bihar government removed controversial IAS officer Sanjeev Hans from his post. The state General Administration Department had also issued a notification in this regard. RJD had accused the state government of delaying action and protecting tainted officers.
