Baseer Khan, a promoted IAS officer, was relieved of the charge of advisor earlier this month.
The CBI raided the residence of Baseer Khan, the former advisor to Jammu and Kashmir Lt. Governor Manoj Sinha, on Ocotober 12 in connection with the arms licensing case, officials said.
The agency also conducted searches at 40 locations in other parts of the country, including New Delhi and Madhya Pradesh.
Mr. Khan, a promoted IAS officer, was relieved of the charge of advisor earlier this month. He was made an advisor in March last year when G.C. Murmu was the Lt. Governor and he continued in the post under Mr. Murmu’s successor Mr. Sinha.
After Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly R. Ashok’s prediction on Saturday that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah will step down in November 2025 triggered intense political discussions in the State, Home Minister G. Parameshwara on Sunday said Mr. Siddaramaiah will continue for the full five-year term.
