Srinagar: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Wednesday carried out searches at seven places in connection with a probe into alleged accumulation of assets disproportionate to the known sources of income by 2010-batch IAS officer, Kumar Rajeev Ranjan, sources disclosed.
Quoting sources, news agency KNO reported that sleuths of the premier central agency today carried out searches in Jammu, Srinagar, Gurgaon, Varanasi and Patna as part of an 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 CBI against Kumar in the infamous arms license scam in Jammu and Kashmir. (KNO)
