A provisional order has been issued under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) to seize these properties belonging to the officer.
A farmhouse and two flats in posh areas of the national capital, a bungalow in Jamshedpur, and some land parcels are among the over Rs 39 crore worth assets of a former Jharkhand rural development department chief engineer that have been attached under the anti-money laundering law, the ED said on Wednesday.
A provisional order has been issued under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) to seize these properties belonging to the officer -- Veerendra Kumar Ram -- and his family members, the federal agency said in a statement.
He was arrested in February this year by the ED following multiple searches at his locations and those linked to him in Ranchi and Jamshedpur in Jharkhand, Bihar, and Delhi.
His cousin, Alok Ranjan, was also arrested in April in this case and they both are in judicial custody at present.
