Srinagar, Oct 12 (KNS): A tea of Central Bureau of Investigation from Delhi on Monday raided the residence of former advisor to Jammu and Kashmir LG, Baseer Ahmad Khan at Bulbul Bagh area of Baghat in Srinagar.

Sources told Kashmir News Service (KNS) that the CBI raided the house of Baseer Ahmad early today morning in connection with a fake gum license racket.

Baseer Khan, who remained as advisor to Lieutenant Governor Girish Chandra Murmu and his successor Manoj Sinha from March 2020, was relieved after the CBI top brass reportedly informed the Ministry of Home Affairs, GoI, about his name figuring in the gun license racket.

Subsequently, the MHA relieved Baseer Khan from the post of Advisor. Sources also said that during Baseer Khan's tenure as advisor to LG the raid could not have been carried at his residence, which is why he was removed as advisor as his name had surfaced in the fake gun license racket. 

Sources also said that the CBI teams raided multiple locations across Jammu and Kashmir in connection with the fake gun license racket in the wee hours today. 

CBI Team raid started at BK Pora in the house of Director Employment Nisar Ahmad Wani s/o Ab Gani R/o Lajoora Pulwama A/P BK Pora. 

CBI team raids at M4 govt Quarter of M Raju (Commissioner Secretary jal shakti Department). 

Meanwhile, a CBI official confirmed to KNS that the raids were conducted early today morning in connection with the fake gun license racket. (KNS)
