New Delhi- The CBI on Wednesday conducted searches at seven locations in Jammu and Kashmir in connection with a disproportionate assets case against Kumar Rajeev Ranjan, secretary of labour and employment department, officials said.
Ranjan has allegedly amassed assets which he could not satisfactorily account for, they said.
The agency has registered a case against Ranjan after analysing his assets during its investigation into gun license cases, they said.
Sources said that sleuths of the premier central agency today carried out searches at Jammu, Srinagar, Gurgaon, Varanasi and Patna as part of investigation into the DA case against the IAS officer.
The office chamber of the bureaucrat at the civil secretariat was also searched by the CBI officials, they said, adding that searches were carried out after registration of FIR against the officer.
It is worthwhile to mention that the Department of Personnel & Training (DoPT) had earlier granted prosecution sanction to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) against Kumar in the infamous arms license scam of Jammu and Kashmir.
