The CBI on Monday searched offices
of two companies, including one owned by the wife of arrested mining
baron and former minister G Janardhana Reddy, and also the residence of
his close associate B Nagendra.
The
25-member CBI team, led by its Karnataka wing Superintendent of Police
Subramanya Rao, conducted searches at the office of Associated Mining
Company (AMC) owned by Aruna Lakshmi at Parvathinga and seized some
documents.
The house of Koodligi MLA B Nagendra was also searched, they said.
The
Human Resources Department office of Jindal Steel Works was also
searched in the backdrop of the company getting about 51 lakh tonnes of
iron ore from AMC in March 2010, sources said.
The Lokayukta report on illegal mining had found certain irregularities indulged in by AMC in iron ore trading, they said.
The CBI also conducted searches at the premises of three offices of Deccan Mining Syndicate Company in Bangalore, sources said.
The company reportedly has links with Janardhana Reddy's company.
