The raids were conducted on Thursday at the premises of six suspects in the naxal-infested area of Badegobra village in Chhattisgarh's Gariyaband district as part of its investigations in the case.
Several mobile phones along with cash amounting to Rs 2,98,000 in cash were seized during the searches from the premises of suspects believed to be working as overground workers (OGWs) and supporters of the Mainpur-Nuapada division of the banned naxal outfit.
