On the condition of anonymity, a relative of Maulana Saad told that the search was carried out by the team for more than two hours inside the farmhouse. They took some pictures and also did videography. They also collected some information from three servants who stay in the farmhouse and look after it. The team also dug at a few places inside the mango orchard. The team, however, did not ask anything about the Maulana.
The name of Maulana Saad surfaced after the cases of Coronavirus positive people from the Tablighi Jamaat in Delhi started pouring out. Since then the Maulana remains to be unreachable for the intelligence agencies, however, he issued a statement in which he said that he is in quarantine.
The Jamaties from different parts of the world are charged with spreading Coronavirus through their movement all over the country. Jamaties from abroad are also charged with the violation of visa rules by indulging in religious preaching while on tourist visas.
