The FBI has arrested an employee of the D.C. Office of the Chief Technology Officer along with a private contractor in a federal bribery sting, according to AP and Washington's WTOP radio. Vivek Kundra recently left his position as head of that office to work as chief information officer in the Obama administration but has not been linked to the ongoing investigation.
WTOP is reporting that the office's acting chief security officer, Yusuf Acar, and Advanced Integrated Technologies Corp. President Sushil Bansal have been arrested and that the FBI has searched two floors of the downtown D.C. office building, but few details have been forthcoming. In initial accounts, the FBI, the White House, the office of Washington Mayor Adrian Fenty and a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office have all refused to comment.
The news that Kundra was not a target of the raid produced some relief in tech quarters. Kundra has generated excitement for his plans to improve outdated federal IT systems and set up a site called data.gov to make available more of the government's vast stores of data.

As far as I know, this raid was made because of corruption problem. The people who are working under Kundra before are suspected in the corruption issue and that is why the raid has been made by FBI.
