Rashid said in a tweet that “bloodthirsty, who first shed blood of the government and now of Lal Haveli” had “totally shut the residence in the dark of the night.”
“When approached for assistance, the Rangers and FC [Frontier Corps] declined. The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and the police then assisted in sealing the Lal Haveli “He asserted.

A heavy contingent of police and officers of the district administration were present while sealing the property.
