“We are also verifying the seized documents, and cases pertaining to some of them will be referred to the Income Tax department or the Directorate of Enforcement,” he added.
The raid and search operations began at 11 p.m. on Friday and it is still continuing. As part of the operations, the rowdies were taken to respective police stations where senior officers gave them a stern warning.
