The agency, which has booked Pune-based Khan and few of his alleged associates under criminal charges of money laundering in 2011, swooped down on a total of 12 premises in Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, Gurgaon, Kolkata and Hyderabad. In Pune and Mumbai they searched Khan&rsquo;s residences in posh areas of Koregaon Park and Peddar Road respectively.
Sources said the action against Khan and his other associates in the case has come about after a two-year lull as the agency wants to revive the case and bring to light additional evidences so that a trial against him in a Mumbai court could be initiated and a verdict is obtained.
Khan&rsquo;s lawyer Prashant Patil said, &ldquo;There is no prima facie case against Hasan Ali Khan. Government agencies since 2007 have not been able to find a single piece of evidence to frame him and so they are just harassing him. Somebody has to be held accountable for this draconian execution of power.&rdquo;
