The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is conducting searches at 30 locations linked to former Jammu and Kashmir governor Satya Pal Malik in a probe linked to alleged corruption in the awarding of a contract for a hydel project in the Union territory.

According to the probe agency’s case, a bribe of Rs 300 crores was paid for two hydel projects in Jammu and Kashmir.

CBI had registered a case in April 2022 against five individuals, including Mr Malik, in connection with alleged irregularities in awarding contracts worth Rs 2200 crores for the mentioned projects.

Responding to the allegations, Satya Pal Malik, who has been admitted to the hospital for the past few days, stated, “Despite my illness, my residence is being raided by authoritarian forces. My driver and assistant are being needlessly harassed through these searches.”
