The I-T sleuths reached the Hisar residence in Sector 15 early on Tuesday and started the process to carry out raids.

The sleuths did not allow anybody from inside the house to make an exit nor did they let anybody enter the house from outside.

Later, the police also reached at the spot.  The I-T officials are still inside the house.

Some supporters and local political leaders also visited the house of Kuldeep.
