During the searches, the agency seized ₹3.5 crore in cash.
The original probe pertains to a multi-crore synthetic narcotics racket unearthed in Punjab in 2013-14, known as ‘Bhola drug case’, in which wrestler-turned-policeman-turned-drug mafia Jagdish Singh alias Bhola is alleged to be the kingpin. He was arrested in 2014 and is currently facing trial in the case.
The federal agency had taken up the narcotics case in March 2013 based on a Punjab police first information report (FIR). Later, seven more FIRs were clubbed in the probe.
It was alleged that the accused indulged in the manufacturing and smuggling of narcotics and synthetic drugs on a large scale.
