A CBI team today visited office of oil regulator V K Sibal to check records following charges of he receiving favours from Mukesh Ambani-led RIL to approve an inflated expenditure for gas field, a charge denied by him.

The CBI was "looking into" the reference sent by the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) for probing allegations that Sibal, Director General of Hydrocarbon, and his family received favours from Reliance Industries for approving a four-fold increase in capital expenditure for KG-D6 fields.
