According to officials, “CBI conducts raids at around eight locations, seven in Delhi and one in Kishtwar, Jammu and Kashmir, based on evidence suggesting involvement in ongoing investigations related to irregularities in the awarding and civil works of the Kiru hydroelectric power project.”

The CBI team conducted a search at 10 places in Delhi and two in Rajasthan.
