Delhi: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) conducted raids at retired civil servant Harsh Mander’s residence and office on Friday in connection to a new case related to alleged violations of the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act.
According to sources, the agency questioned several people related to the case as a part of their preliminary investigation.
Earlier in September 2021, raids were conducted at Mander’s residence by the Directorate of Enforcement in connection with an alleged money laundering case. According to the ED, the raids were conducted at his residence, office and a children’s home run by him in the city.
In March this year, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) had sent recommendations for a CBI inquiry against IAS-turned-social activist Mander’s Aman Biradari NGO for alleged Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) violations.
The MHA’s recommendations were sent to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to conduct an inquiry against Mander’s NGO.
