Sahara India chief Subrata Roy

The police on Friday searched the office, home and other premises linked to Sahara India chief Subrata Roy in Lucknow in connection with a non-bailable warrant issued by a district consumer commission in Bihar, an official said.

A Sahara statement, however, claimed that the court has stayed the execution of the order.

The police searched for Roy at the Sahara office in Lucknow's Aliganj area and at other places linked to his company in Gomtinagar but failed to find him, deputy commissioner of police (North) Qasim Abidi told reporters.

He said searches were on at other places in an effort to arrest the businessman.

The warrant was issued by the district consumer commission in Bihar's Nalanda on November 29, the DCP said.

He said some "important evidence' was found in the searches and police are taking further action on its basis.

The district consumer commission has charged Roy under the Consumer Protection Act for failing to comply with its order. -- PTI
