Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) searched at least seven locations in Jammu and Kashmir in relation to a disproportionate assets case against IAS Kumar Rajeev Ranjan, secretary of labour and employment department.
Ranjan has allegedly amassed assets that he could not satisfactorily account for, the officials said.
The central investigating agency has registered a case against Ranjan after analysing his assets during its investigation into gun license cases, they said.
Sources said the searches also took place at the civil secretariat in Srinagar where his office is located.
