New Delhi: The CBI on Thursday took up searches at the premises of former Jammu and Kashmir governor Satya Pal Malik and 29 other locations in connection with alleged corruption in the Rs 2,200-crore Kiru Hydropower project.

Around 100 officers took part in this joint search operation in multiple locations of Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Rajasthan, besides Delhi and Mumbai. Premises linked to Satya Pal Malik at R K Puram, Dwarka and Asian Games Village in Delhi, as well as the ones in  Gurugram and Baghpat were searched.

“I have been ill for the last 3-4 days and am admitted to the hospital. Despite this, my house is being raided by the dictator through government agencies. My driver and my assistant are also being raided and harassed unnecessarily. I am a farmer’s son, I will not be afraid of these raids. I am with the farmers,” Malik said in a post on X.
