He said that Jarkiholi had not named the lady in his complaint, but the officials had raided the PG. "They say they have recovered cash and other documents," he observed and. questioned how was the raid conducted without any basis, duly pointing out that the officials had not raided the residence of Jarkiholi. He said all these things give rise to suspicions.
