The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is conducting searches at 15 locations across Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, in and around Delhi, in connection with the alleged bribes paid to government officials, including those of National Medical Commission (NMC).

According to the agency sources, the searches are part of the ongoing probe under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, based on a case registered by the Central Bureau of Investigation on June 30.

As alleged, bribes had been paid in lieu of disclosing confidential information pertaining to the inspection of medical colleges to the key managerial persons related to medical colleges and middlemen, which enabled them to manipulate the parameters and obtain approval for running academic courses at the medical colleges.

The locations covered during the searches include seven premises of medical colleges in multiple States and certain private persons named as accused in the CBI FIR.
