As many as six teams of the Bhubaneswar Vigilance Division conducted simultaneous searches at six places including Bhatta's residential house at Hata Sahi, two houses at Akshaya Dham fish market in Baseli Sahi and Samanta area in Puri Town, a triple storied building at Hatisal and her in-laws house at Hatasahi.
Similar raids were also carried out at her husband Pravat Mishra's office at Delaware and Anganwadi Center at Baselisahi in Puri.
The searches are being conducted on the strength of search warrant issued by Court of Special Judge Vigilance in Bhubaneswar, said reports.
