New Delhi: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has recovered around Rs 60 lakh in cash after raids were conducted on Wednesday across 50 locations in the country on the premises belonging to owners of some rice-flour mills, agents and government officials who are accused of corruption.
The raids were carried out as part of the probe agency's operation against channelised corruption in the Food Corporation of India (FCI) related to procurement, storage and distribution.
