The ED on Friday said it has searched the premises of a former Mumbai-based chief engineer of the BMC and recovered documents related to purchase of a property in Dubai in an alleged illegal manner.
The central probe agency did not identify the officer.
The raid was conducted on "specific and reliable information" under the provision of the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) at the residential premises of an ex-chief engineer of the cash-rich Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), a statement from the Enforcement Directorate (ED) said.
It said that during the raid "incriminating" documents linked to "illegal acquisition" of a property held in Dubai has been recovered.
"It has been stated by the former chief engineer of BMC that he purchased the property in Dubai, located at Park Island, Bonaire Marsa, Dubai (measuring 89 sq mt), for Rs 70 lakh in 2012."
