Police on Saturday raided the house of vice-president of the Uttar Pradesh state unit of All India Gujjar Maha Sabha, Choudhury Virendra Singh, in Saharanpur but could not arrest him owing to resistance from Gujjar activists.

Singh had allegedly announced the bounty during an agitation in Saharanpur on May 28. A criminal case has been registered against him for intimidation and abetment of commission of offence by the public.
