The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is conducting searches at multiple locations linked to former Trinamool Congress (TMC) Lok Sabha Member Mahua Moitra in connection with the probe into corruption allegations against her.
The move comes days after the Lokpal had directed the agency to carry out further investigation and submit a report on its findings within six months.
“...in our considered opinion, a deeper probe is required to establish the truth...accordingly, we direct the CBI...to investigate all aspects of the allegations made in the complaint, and submit a copy of the Investigation Report within a period of six months from the date of receipt of this order. The CBI shall file periodical reports regarding the status of the investigation every month,” said the Lokpal order.
