They said the agency conducted searches in four cities—New Delhi, Ghaziabad, Chennai and Hyderabad.
Qureshi has been accused of accepting money from several people for securing favours from public servants.

The premises searched included those of an employee of Qureshi, his company, Singh’s residence and that of Pradeep Koneru in Hyderabad.
