His family members were present at the house when IT men reached there. The IT men were searching for documents at his house and at his institution late in the evening.

The IT sleuths also freezed 50 accounts in a private bank showing huge transaction after demonetisation. Anwar Ahmad and his associates have a great say in the bank.
