The CBI's action came on a complaint filed by Punjab and Sindh Bank on April 11. The CBI official said searches were carried out at various places. "Searches were conducted today at seven places-two each in Delhi, Patiala, and Chandigarh and one in Panchkula at the offices and residences of the accused which led to the recovery of certain documents," PTI reports quoting a CBI spokesperson as saying.
