Based on an anonymous complaint received that rice and other items were stored in Narayanswamy’s house to be distributed during election, the election officer Sridhar and Urigam sub inspector Krishna reached the spot suddenly and searched the premises in the afternoon. However, the search yielded no result. Even the members of the Narayanswamy household were not present in the house.
The officers had to return empty handed as they realised it was a false trail.
