The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Thursday conducted search operations at five locations in Kolkata in connection with the ongoing probe into cattle smuggling, officials said.
The search operations started in the morning, a CBI spokesperson said.
Raids were also conducted at the office premises and residences of two chartered accountants in the city, he said.
