The raids are being conducted in the presence of CRPF personnel. The Odisha Police personnel were in dark about the raids.
While BJP sources claim that these businessmen were behind huge money circulation in the Padampur Bypoll, BJD calls it as a threat by the central agencies to BJD workers and leaders.
