NEW DELHI, Sept. 9 -- India's premier investigating agency Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Saturday raided residence of former Environment Minister Jayanthi Natarajan in southern state of Tamil Nadu, officials said.
Natarajan's house in Chennai, the capital city of Tamil Nadu, was raided.
"CBI has filed a case against Natarajan in connection with clearance given during her tenure for diversion of forest land for mining in alleged violation of laws," an official said.
Reports said Natarajan has been accused by the CBI of abusing her official position to clear diversion of forest land in Jharkhand's Saranda forest without justification. Her predecessor Jairam Ramesh had reportedly refused to clear the proposal.
