Sources said the searches were conducted in connection with a land related case. ED teams searched the houses of Rajiv and his sister along with a showroom in Dehradun.
It is being told that the ED team first reached Rajiv's house in Juyal Marg in Rishabh Vihar this morning. The team questioned the family members and examined some documents.
