It seems that the houses of the quarry operators are also being searched as the ED sleuths have received information that they have violated Foreign Exchange Managament Act (FEMA) regulations. Also, it is known that ED has given notices to eight agencies in the past.

It is reported that some of these ED officials are also conducting inspections at the residences of suspects in the Delhi liquor scam case.
