The agency started a massive search operation at around 43 locations in multiple states on Monday following the registration of FIR, officials said.
The operation, which started early in the morning, is going on and it may be expanded during the course of the day, they said. The officials said that a large number of engineers of the Uttar Pradesh government and other officials, around 180 of them have been made accused in the FIR.
