“These raids started yesterday and are continuing today. These raids are part of the ongoing investigation in a major land scam unearthed by the ACB recently.
“The places raided include Bhalwal, Seri, Kot, Barb and Amb Patwar Halqas”, officials said.
Officials added that records at these places have been seized during the course of these raids.
It must be mentioned that the ACB recently unearthed a nexus of land mafia operated by some revenue officials in league with other influential persons.
