New Delhi, March 15 (IANS) The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Tuesday morning conducted searches in Mumbai, Pune and Delhi in connection with the Adarsh Co-operative Housing Society scam in Mumbai.

“Raids are being conducted in Delhi, Mumbai and Pune,” a CBI source said.

The scam has claimed the job of former chief minister Ashok Chavan after allegations surfaced of collusion between bureaucrats and politicians to corner flats in the 31-storey building constructed on a prime plot in the posh Colaba area of south Mumbai.

The flats in the building were originally meant for Kargil war widows and heroes.
