Police investigations have revealed that Rajiv Nayan Mishra, the mastermind behind the Review Officer/Assistant Review Officer (RO/ARO) Exam 2023 paper leak, opened seven companies over the past three years. It is suspected that these companies were created to safeguard illegally earned money.

The other companies registered by him include Web E Private Limited Noida, Semvault Food Club Noida, Ready to Move Cargo Services Noida, Semvault Dimensions Private Limited Noida, Medi Choice Private Limited Noida, and Eyeshop Consultancy Prayagraj.
Following the attachment of immovable assets, two cars, and cash from bank accounts in Bhopal, Greater Noida, and Dadri, police and ED officials are now searching for Rajiv Nayan’s properties in Prayagraj. Authorities are investigating whether any properties are registered in his name in Prayagraj. Rajiv Nayan Mishra is a native of Shukulpur village in the Meja area of Prayagraj.
