At around 7 am, the ED team reached the MLA's residence in Okhla with a search warrant. The MLA did not open the gate for a long time and kept arguing with the officers from behind. Police and paramilitary personnel were also called on the spot. Later, somehow the MLA agreed and allowed the officers to go inside. The team of 7 officers kept searching inside the house for a long time. At around 12.30 pm, the ED team left with the MLA in their car.

Meanwhile, apart from the media, a crowd of local people and MLA supporters also gathered there. Amidst a lot of commotion, the policemen allowed the vehicle to pass.
