The CBI is conducting searches at 12 locations, including the former J&K governor Satya Pal Malik's former media advisor's residence, in Delhi, Jammu and Kashmir, and Rajasthan.

This move comes days after the CBI questioned Malik in connection with alleged corruption case in the Union Territory.

As per the CBI officials the raids held in 10 Delhi and two Rajasthan locations, reports The Indian Express.


“It is unfortunate that the CBI is harassing the complainant in this case. He (Sunak Bali) was my press advisor/secretary in J&K without any government salary,” ANI quoted Malik as saying on Wednesday.

Malik had alleged in October 2021 that he was offered Rs 300 crore in bribes to clear two files, one of which concerned an RSS leader.

In March 2022, J&K Lt Governor Manoj Sinha had described these allegations as serious and stated that the case has been handed over to the CBI for investigation.
