Sunil Yadav, the subject of an ED absconding warrant and the subject of an investigation into money laundering in connection with an illegal mining case involving 1000 crores in Sahibganj, Jharkhand, was transferred on Saturday to Birsa Munda Central Jail in Hotwar, Ranchi.

On the basis of an arrest order issued by the ED court, he was taken into custody by the Sahibganj police on Friday night. When the Sahibganj police brought him before the ED's special court on Saturday, he was put to judicial detention per the court's instructions.

To be questioned while being held

Now that he is being held on remand, the ED will question him. However, if the ED's official sources are to be believed, ED would ask the court to place Sunil Yadav on custody as early as next week. He'll continue to be detained till then.

Arrested Dahu Yadav, a friend of Pankaj Mishra's, has a brother named Sunil Yadav. Dahu Yadav and his son Rahul Yadav are still at large.

The ED court has already issued an arrest warrant for both of them. The Sahibganj police have received the letter in this regard. Now, as soon as they cross paths, the cops will detain them both.

They have thus far been detained

Pankaj Mishra, a member of the Barhait assembly seat, Bachchu Yadav, Prem Prakash, and Pashupati Yadav, the father of Dahu Yadav, were all detained by the ED as part of the investigation into money laundering in the case involving illicit mining up to this point. The fifth defendant, Sunil Yadav, has been detained and imprisoned.

What is Sunil Yadav's alleged offence?

Along with Sunil Yadav, who was detained and imprisoned, Pankaj Mishra is also said to have relationships with the fugitive Dahu Yadav and the missing Rahul Yadav.

He used to mine illegally for stone and sand in Sahibganj at the direction of Pankaj Mishra, then transport it across the Ganga to Bihar and Bengal.

There was a sizable reward in exchange for this. The event with the ship that sank in the Ganga brought their illicit activities to light, but the entire situation was afterwards covered. The entire scheme was revealed later, when the ED began looking into the money laundering angle.

Allegations have been made against Pankaj Mishra and all of his accomplices, claiming that they provided big-time state officials and bureaucrats with illicit stones and black money obtained through sand mining and transportation. Black money has also been invested in real estate, hotels, and other enterprises aside from this.
