The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) raided the residence of founder of Dogra Swabhiman Sangathan and former minister Choudhary Lal Singh in Kathua.
An official said the sleuths of the CBI raided the residence of Singh in Kathua early today morning.
The CBI had initiated a probe against an educational trust run by Singh in connection with a corruption case in June this year.
Singh had quit the Bharatiya Janta Party over Kathua rape case in 2018 and floated a party Dogra Swabhiman Sangathan (DSS).
