The Chandigarh Police booked an unknown person on Tuesday for allegedly trespassing on a house at Sector 37, sealed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) after the arrest of its owner Ashok Kumar Yadav, Joint Chief Controller of the Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation (PESO), Chennai, in April.

Inspector Rajdeep Singh, Station House Officer (SHO) of Sector 39 Police Station said that a case has been registered on the complaint of CBI Inspector Mohinder Ram.

The CBI inspector, in his complaint, stated that the second floor of the house number 332, Sector 37 A, Chandigarh, was sealed on April 7, following the arrest of Yadav by a CBI team from Chennai. On Tuesday, around 10 am, in pursuance of a search warrant, Ram, along with an independent witness, opened the seal of the house in the presence of accused Yadav.
