Ranchi, April 21: The ED is understood to have arrested Pasupathi Yadav from Sahibganj in connection with Rs. 1000 Crore illegal stone mining scam.
Pasupathi Yadav is the father of Dahu Yadav and Sunil Yadav who are among the accused in the mining scam. Both of them are absconding and the ED procured an attachment order against them.
Dahu Yadav is an associate of Pankaj Mishra and he operated a ferry service on the river Ganga. He used to transport illegally mined stone chips and boulders through ships to Bihar and other places.
Reliable sources claimed that Pasupathi Yadav was arrested last night and he is likely to be taken to Ranchi for his production. However, ED sources neither confirmed nor denied his arrest.
As many as four members of the family of Dahu Yadav are facing the heat of the money laundering investigation. Dahu Yadav’s son Rahul is also facing arrest warrant.
Notably, last month, the district police had arrested him on the order of Rajmahal court as he was not appearing before the court for hearing in a criminal case. However, he soon got the bail.
Notably, his name had first surfaced in the controversy related to the mysterious death of Jharkhand Police ASI Rupa Tirkey. He is an accused in several criminal cases.
