The Central Bureau of Investigation on Monday conducted a raid at the residence of Ashok Todi, the father-in-law of Rizwanur Rehman who was found dead last year after a month of his marriage to the industrialist's daughter.

The Special Branch of CBI conducted a raid in the Salt Lake residence of Ashok Todi in search of Ashok Todi, his
brother Pradip Todi and brother-in-law Anil Sarogi against whom non-bailable arrest warrants were issued by the court earlier in the day.

However, none of the three were found in the residence, CBI sources said.

The CBI Kolkata office informed the developments to the CBI headquarters in Delhi [Images] from where a red alert has been issued to all airports and major railway stations against Ashok Todi, Pradip Todi and Anil Sarogi to prevent them from escaping from the country, CBI sources added.

A Kolkata court on Monday issued non-bailable arrest warrants against Ashok Todi and two of his relatives.

The court observed that the non-appearance of Todi and two others despite summons was nothing but an attempt to drag on the proceedings.
