A large police contingent cordoned off Elahi’s home, Kunjah House, and attempted to enter it late Monday night. According to Express News, this is the fourth police operation at his home.
According to a spokesperson for Kunjah House, the police arrived in connection with an anti-corruption case filed against the ex-chief minister, but neither Elahi nor other family members were present at the time of the raid.
They also stated that only employees and family members were present at the house.
Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) leader and Elahi’s son Moonis stated that the police did not have any search warrants for the raid.
Taking to his official Twitter handle, he said that the “Punjab police again at Kunjah House in Gujrat to conduct another raid”.

Meanwhile, police officials said that the police force of more than 15 police stations in the city and Sadar Circle were included in the raid, which was led by Deputy Police Officer (DPO) Ahmed Nawaz Shah.
They added that the operation was conducted on cases registered on the complaint of anti-corruption officials.
Elahi was arrested on terror charges by the Punjab police last week, but he was granted bail until May 6.

An Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) Punjab team, along with Lahore police, raided Elahi’s home in the early hours of Saturday to arrest him.
The raiding teams remained on the premises for more than three hours, apprehending nine people but failing to locate the PTI leader.
The raid on the former CM’s home came just hours after the ACE arrested Moonis’s close friend.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
