How a Decade‑Long Scheme Allegedly Netted Over Rs 100 Crore for Gudu Yadav

Over the past ten years, investigators say Gudu Yadav orchestrated a complex scheme that turned illegal land deals into a fortune exceeding Rs 100 crore. The EOU alleges that the scheme hinged on forged land titles, manipulation of revenue data, and forceful collection of money from local businesses.

The operation allegedly involved creating dummy companies, diverting funds into the accounts of relatives, and purchasing property in the names of close allies to conceal true ownership. This web of transactions made the wealth appear legitimate on paper.

The probe has catalogued 29 properties registered to Yadav and his wife, Dulari Devi, a sitting Zila Parishad president. Further investigations are focused on identifying the source of funds used for these acquisitions and pinpointing the real owners behind the anonymous assets.

During the raids, officials recovered a substantial cache of evidence: cash amounting to Rs 34.19 lakh, extensive land documentation, bank passbooks, vehicle registration papers, ammunition for a 79‑round rifle, a traditional spear, and a variety of government records. While five accomplices were detained, Yadav managed to leave his home before the police entered, citing a family emergency as the reason for his absence.
