“Last night, the police with 25 vehicles and 2 black Vigo raided our house in Gujrat without any search warrant. 25 police vehicles are understandable, but what were 2 black Vigos doing with them? Are they looking for Indian spies?” he wrote in a tweet.

Before the magistrate, the accused confessed that they were carrying bottles for the personality.
