In a country-wide operation, the CBI carried out searches at 110 locations in 19 states in connection with fresh cases related to alleged corruption, arms smuggling and criminal misconduct.

The CBI has registered 30 fresh cases according to officials. They said more details are awaited as the search operation is underway and may be expanded during the day.

This is the second massive search operation by the agency in a week. A similar operation was carried out last Tuesday against banking fraud accused.
