New Delhi: Following the arrest of a DGM-ranked officer on Wednesday, the CBI reportedly initiated a crackdown on allegations of corruption at the Food Corporation of India by conducting searches at 50 locations in Punjab, Haryana, and Delhi.

According to them, the agency is scrutinising the functions of all employees, from technical assistants to executive directors, within the FCI.

The searches were started after the arrest of a deputy general manager (DGM) in the FCI while taking a bribe of Rs 50,000, they said.

They said the operation is spread across multiple cities in Punjab, Haryana and two locations in Delhi.

The sources said the agency has started the operation against an "unholy nexus of corruption" in the FCI involving a chain of officers, rice mill owners, grain merchants etc., engaged in the procurement, storage and distribution of food grains, they said.

The CBI was developing intelligence for the last six months following many complaints received by it, they said.

The role of state government employees will also be under the scanner, they said.
