CBI probe into Soma Enterprise points to NHAI official

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has deepened its probe against the Hyderabad-based infrastructure company, Soma Enterprise Ltd, which has led the agency to the office and home of a National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) official.

“The office of a top official in NHAI technical wing was searched and documents in the office were seized,” said a source. The CBI searches in NHAI on Friday last week were linked to the case of a road project of the company, multiple sources told BusinessLine. However, they did not reveal the exact nature of alleged charges and suspicions that have led to these searches.
