What Was The Case?

Reports stated that a team of police led by SO Saiyyedraja had raided the place of Kanhaiya Yadav. IG said that an externment order was issued against Kanhaiya for having criminal history with the police. Following the issuance of a non-bailable warrant against him police had gone to search him.
