Bhopal, Aug 3: Madhya Pradesh Economic Offences Wing (EOW) probing a disproportionate assets complaint found Rs 35 lakh in cash at the Bhopal residence of a state government clerk who drank a poisonous liquid during the search on Wednesday, an official said.
The incident occurred in the morning when a team of EOW officials reached the residence of Hero Keswani, an upper division clerk (UDC) with the state Medical Education Department, in the Bairagarh area.
EOW Superintendent of Police, Rajesh Mishra, told PTI that Keswani tried to stop officials and push them.
"Keswani consumed some phenyl-like substance. He was rushed to the state-run Hamidia Hospital. His condition is stable," the SP said.
The EOW has found Rs 35 lakh in cash and documents of immovable properties and other assets at Keswani's residence, said Mishra.

Cristiano Ronaldo scores his 100th Saudi Pro League goal
Riyadh (AP): Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 100th Saudi Pro League goal as Al-Nassr beat Al-Shabab 4-2 to move five points clear at the top of the table.
The 41-year-old forward converted a Sadio Mané cross at the near post with 15 minutes remaining to record the 971st goal of his career on Thursday. It was also his 26th league goal of the season.
“Ronaldo is always dangerous going forward and we saw that again today,” Al-Nassr coach Jorge Jesus said.
João Félix, signed from Chelsea in July, scored three goals for the league leaders.
The win took Al-Nassr to 82 points from 32 games, five ahead of Al-Hilal, which has three matches, one more than Nassr, left to play. Al-Hilal meets Al-Kholood on Friday and faces Nassr on Tuesday in what could be a title decider against its Riyadh rival.
“Now we have a derby match against our rival, which is a difficult encounter,” Jesus said.
“We are fully aware of its importance, and we are dealing with it with complete focus as we know that small details could decide the result.”
Ronaldo, a five-time Ballon d'Or winner, has yet to secure a major trophy in Saudi Arabia since signing with Al-Nassr in December 2022.
