"Search warrants have been obtained from a court and searches are underway at seven locations in Srinagar and Budgam districts," a spokesperson of the EOW, which was earlier known as the Crime Branch of the Jammu and Kashmir Police, said.

Giving details of the case, he said seven people, including then Balahama tehsildar Nusrat Aziz Lone and patwari Ashiq Ali were booked earlier this year for "fraudulently" making insertions in revenue records to benefit a private person.
