The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is conducting searches at over 30 locations including premises linked to former Jammu and Kashmir governor Satya Pal Malik in connection with its probe into alleged corruption in the awarding of a contract for a hydel project in the Union territory.
The case relates to alleged corruption in awarding civil works of the Kiru Hydro Electric Power Project (HEP) worth ₹2,200 crore, officials said.
Satya Pal Malik, who served as the governor of Jammu and Kashmir between August 23, 2018, and October 30, 2019, had claimed he was offered a ₹300-crore bribe for clearing two files, including the one related to the 624-megawatt Kiru project, a run-of-river scheme over the Chenab river in Kishtwar district.
