The CBI also conducted raids at residences of BSP leader Satyadev Dikshit and SP MLC Ramesh Mishra in Hamirpur.
The CBI is also investigating the charges of illegal mining in five districts of Uttar Pradesh — Shamli, Hamirpur, Fatehpur, Siddharthnagar, and Deoria.
The probe agency had taken up the matter on the directions of Allahabad High Court in July 2017.
As per reports, the high court had directed the CBI to probe the matter after a plea was filed alleging that illegal mining was taking place in the state with an active role of government officials.
