Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): During a raid conducted by Lokayukta police on the premises of retired Engineer-in-Chief GP Mehra of Public Works Department recently, his passport was seized that revealed he made several foreign trips.
The Lokayukta police had conducted raids at four locations in Bhopal and Narmadapuram and found jewellery, factories, and investments worth Rs 60 crore on October 9. These assets were found disproportionate to his known sources of income. The raids followed complaints lodged against him about possessing assets disproportionate to his known sources of income.
