In an alleged gun-licensing racket busted by Rajasthan Police in 2017, the CBI carried out searches at 17 locations in the new Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir and three states that included premises of senior IAS officers Yasha Mudgal and Kumar Rajeev Ranjan. CBI is probing lakhs of arms licences that were issued in the last one decade from various districts of the militancy-hit region.

This is the first major operation of the agency in J&K after its reorganisation as a Union Territory under which the CBI got jurisdiction to operate there under the Delhi Special Police Establishment Act.

Several documents related to the cases, including bank statements, were recovered during the searches that were carried out at three places in Kashmir, 11 places in Jammu and one each in Gurugram (Haryana), Mohali (Punjab) and Noida (Uttar Pradesh).

Besides searching the premises of Mudgal, a 2007-batch IAS officer, and Ranjan, a 2010-batch IAS officer, houses of Itrat Hussain, Mohammed Saleem, Mohammed Junaid Khan, F C Bhagat, Farooq Ahmed Khan and Jenhagir Ahmed Mir were searched.

Mudgal is at present CEO-and-Managing Director of Power Distribution Corporation Jammu, while Ranjan is CEO of Jammu Srinagar Metro Rail Corporation. The CBI was handed over the matter in August last year
