India's top investigating agency CBI has raided 11 locations in connection with alleged financial irregularities at 2010 Delhi Commonwealth Games.
Searches are going on at the homes of organising committee secretary general Lalit Bhanot and Director General VK Verma, reports said.
Three Games officials have been arrested on corruption charges so far.
Earlier this month, Suresh Kalmadi, the Games organising committee chief, quit his post in the Congress party.
He has been under investigation over claims of corruption at October's sporting spectacular. He denies any wrongdoing.
The build-up to the event was overshadowed by revelations of sleaze, incompetence and missed construction deadlines.
Last month, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh ordered an investigation into the alleged corruption at the Games.
Senior Games officials TS Darbari and Sanjay Mohindroo were arrested over charges of irregularities over the awarding of Games contracts linked to the Queen's Baton Relay in London last year.
Treasurer M Jayachandran was arrested in connection with an alleged scam to award contracts to companies at inflated prices.
His predecessor, Anil Khanna, quit in August after claims an Australian firm won the contract to lay tennis courts for the Games because his son headed its Indian arm.
