Three senior bureaucrats of the state are on the radar of a special investigation team (SIT) for allegedly making huge investments in the real estate business with key accused in the Bihar Staff Selection Commission (BSSC) question paper leak case, Anandpreet Singh Brar.

Brar told his interrogators that he was in touch with three Indian Administrative Service officers of Bihar, who had showed keen interest in real estate in Delhi's NCR (national capital region). The officers had visited the national capital much before the scam surfaced in February this year.

A senior police officer quoted Brar as saying that he was about to launch the project christened Bihar Gram in the NCR close to Gurgaon in Haryana. Apart from these IAS officers, several politicians and officials of the Bihar Administrative Service (BAS) had also promised Brar to extend their financial support in the building project.

One of the flats in the proposed Bihar Gram was to be given to arrested BSSC secretary Parmeshwar Ram free of cost. Some of the BAS officials had also visited the site of the proposed multi-storied building in Gurgaon, to be constructed by Brar's firm. Brar also disclosed the names of the officials in question.

"A separate team of officers is on the job to locate the movable and immovable assets of Brar. The team also got a wind of his mega-building project in the NCR. But we have to dig out more details on this front," said a police officer associated with the probe.

The SIT had earlier sought the assistance of the officials of the economic offences unit (EOU) to detect the property of Brar, who was assigned the job of evaluation of the OMR sheets of the clerical grade examination conducted by the BSSC.

Brar disclosed his association with arrested chairman of the BSSC Sudhir Kumar and another IAS officer C.K. Anil, who was deputed as officer on special duty.

Sudhir, a 1987-batch IAS officer, had helped him get the contract of evaluation of OMR sheets of the BSSC examination.

The SIT is all set to submit a proposal to the Enforcement Directorate (ED), requesting the latter to confiscate the ill-gotten property of Brar.

"We will initiate action after receipt of the proposal through proper channel," an official posted at the regional ED office in Patna told The Telegraph on Friday.
