A team of about 12 people went to his residence and offices to collect evidence.
On Wednesday, on the instructions of the High Court, IAS Ram Vilas Yadav reached the Vigilance Directorate, Kargi, at around 1 pm. Here ASP Renu Lohani and his team started questioning Yadav. In this, the former and present investigating officers of this case were also involved. A team of about six people questioned him for seven hours. He was asked more than 100 questions.
