Another 387 concentrators were recovered from the registered office of Matrix Cellular company in south Delhi’s Chhatarpur. All the 524 recovered concentrators were connected to Kalra and the employees of the private company, the police said.

A senior crime branch officer associated with the case said that crime branch teams have been trying to track Kalra who went underground along with his family soon after the raids at his Nege & Ju restaurant-cum-bar in Lodhi Colony and the Chhatarpur office of Matrix Cellular company last Wednesday.

“With apprehension that Kalra may try to flee the country, the investigating team got a look out circular issued against him. Raids are still on to nab him,” said the officer, who did not want to be named.
