Security forces recover Rs 35 lakh cash hidden underground by Maoists in Chaibasa jungles
RANCHI: In yet another achievement, the security forces have recovered Rs 35 lakh cash, belonging to the Maoists, hidden under the ground during anti-Maoist operations in the Saranda jungles of Chaibasa under Karaikela police station limit. According to Chaibasa police, based on the tip-off that a huge amount of money had been kept hidden under the ground, a joint operation of Jharkhand Jaguar and CRPF was launched. The recovered cash was kept by the Maoists to plant landmines and to buy explosives, they said. The information was shared by Ranchi Range IG Manoj Kaushik through a post on the social media platform X. 'On a specific intelligence related to Maoist financing, Chaibasa police have recovered ₹35 lakhs approx. on July 27 (Exact counting will be done at PS). Money was for the purchase of explosives to mine the area against the forces. Congratulations!'. According to police sources, the bundles of money recovered were wrapped in paper and plastic, and were buried under the ground after placing them safely in a steel can. 'A total of 35 bundles has been found,' said the police sources. The money will be counted only after reaching the police station, so that the exact amount of money can be ascertained,' said the police sources. Earlier in May this year, the security forces had recovered at least two lockers (Almirah) along with a huge cache of ammunition on the Jharkhand-Bihar border during an inter-state operation against the banned CPI (Maoist) in the Chakarbandha forests of Palamu. The lockers, recovered from the jungles, were supposedly being used to hide the levy money extorted from the contractors and businessmen. According to police, the lockers were found empty; possibly, some close associate of Maoist leader Sandeep Yadav took the money out after his death. Prime facie, it appeared that the lockers were emptied by someone very recently.

The two are directors and majority shareholders in Ramprastha Promoters and Developers Pvt Ltd (RPDPL), according to the sources. They have been taken into custody under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), they said. The company or its promoters could not be contacted for a comment on the ED action against them, PTI said. The agency had conducted a survey against the group in September 2024. The case It is alleged that the RPDPL collected about ₹1,100 crore from more than 2,000 homebuyers for various housing schemes like Project Edge, Project Skyz, Project Rise and Ramprastha City (plotted colony project) in various sectors of Gurugram during 2008-11, PTI said in its report.

Earlier this month, the agency had attached colonies and plots spread across more than 1,900 acres and worth over ₹681.54 crore of the group in Gurugram as part of this investigation. The money laundering case stems from multiple FIRs filed by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Delhi and Haryana Police based on complaints of numerous homebuyers against RPDPL and its promoters, like Yadav, Walia and Balwant Chaudhary for their "failure" to deliver promised flats and plots within the promised timeframes, the ED had said in a statement. The company and its promoters "diverted" the funds sources from buyers of these projects to its group companies as advances for the purchase of land parcels, instead of using them for completion of promised homes, it had said. The company said on its website that it holds a large land bank in Gurugram with a combined development potential of over 80 million sq ft between Gurugram and Ghaziabad. "We have successfully sold 8,000 dwelling units in the region and have the potential to reach nearly 1,00,000 dwelling units in the days to come," it said.
