The security lapse has raised eyebrows in the political row in the state creating a chaotic situation. Former Chief Minister Ashok Ghelot and Leader of Opposition Tikaram Jully were reportedly barred from entering the premises while the search was underway.
Talking to the press, both leaders slammed the current BJP-led government for the deteriorating law and order situation.
