The CBI on Friday carried out searches at the premises of BJP MP from Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Natubhai Gomanbhai Patel, in connection with a disproportionate assets case.

The agency carried out searches at his South Avenue residence in Delhi as well as at his house in Silvassa in the Union Territory, sources said.

It is alleged that the MP has accumulated wealth disproportionate to his known sources of income, they said.

When contacted, Mr. Patel who is in Silvassa, said searches were on but he had no information why they are being carried out.

He is a first time Lok Sabha MP and a member of Standing Committee on Home Affairs.
