आज सुबह, सीबीआई की एक टीम ने चेन्नई में मेरे आवास और दिल्ली में मेरे आधिकारिक आवास की तलाशी ली।
टीम ने मुझे एक प्राथमिकी दिखाई, जिसमें मेरा नाम आरोपी के रूप में नहीं है।
तलाशी टीम को ना कुछ मिला और ना ही कुछ जब्त किया।
मैं बता सकता हूं कि खोज का समय दिलचस्प है।

TALWANDI SABO POWER PLANT – CHINESE LINK
Talwandi Sabo Power Plant was in the process of establishing a 1980 MW Thermal Power plant at Mansa in Punjab. The establishment was outsourced to a Chinese Company called Shandong Electric Power Construction Corp (SEPCO). The project was running behind schedule so in order to avoid penal action for the delay, Talwandi Sabo Power Limited was allegedly trying to bring more and more Chinese professionals at the site. This needed project Visas over and above the ceiling imposed by Ministry of Home Affairs
