New Delhi: The CBI has carried out searches in Uttar Pradesh's Agra in the case of a doctor who was found dead at her home in mysterious circumstances, and whose family accused her in-laws of killing her for dowry, officials said on Tuesday.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) took over the case last month after Supreme Court's December 2020 order.
The agency sleuths raided two premises of the accused in Agra and recovered some incriminating evidence in the form of documents relevant to the case, and some immovable assets. These documents include laptops, mobile phones, and some papers relating to various bank accounts.
