According to offical sources, his properties in various parts of the country are being attached after he failed to appear before the probe agency for several months.

The project, titled the Network Centric Operation (NCO), is characterised by information-sharing across multiple levels of command and control made posible by networking tghe entire force down to the indivdual level of the naval hierarchy.
The CBI in its explosive revelation stated: "With this compromised information, an enemy country/terrorists can know exactly as to what the future naval network-centric operations are for the next 20 years..."The CBI has estimated that the information leaked could be worth billions of dollars in a commercial transaction. And the CBI is said to have pointed out that the information will immensely benefit big multi-national companies engaged in defence supplies as it wil give them a clear insight into the requirements of the Navy.
The CBI sleuths have moved in on Shanks Oceanography office in Goa, which is alleged to be Ravi Shankaran's office, frozen his bank account in Mumbai and seized his Mercedes car in Pune.
