They came to my house and said they want to talk to me. I let them inside. They spoke to me cordially and said they are government officials. Till they took my signatures on some papers, they did not reveal that they were there to raid my house." She told the television channel that she did not prevent them from discharging their duties. The officials verified various documents found at her house till Thursday early morning.
