New Delhi: The Delhi Police's Crime Branch along with the Income Tax department conducted a raid at the office of an NGO reportedly run by the managers of famous Pakistani singer Shafqat Amanat Ali Khan in Delhi, police said on Thursday.

Monu Kohli and Rakesh Gupta work as managers with the singer while running an NGO 'Routes to Roots' in Hauz Khas area of south Delhi, the police said.

"During the raid, both were not available in the NGO office," said Joint Commissioner of Police, Crime Branch, Ravindra Yadav.

The raid was conducted by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting sent CDs of sting operations conducted on managers of Pakistani artistes by several TV channels following demonetisation of high-value currency notes, Commissioner Yadav said.

The sting operations carried out by the investigation teams of news channels on the managers of Pakistani artistes show how black money is used to crack deals with these artistes.

The channels also conducted sting operations on the managers of Pakistani singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Pakistani model Mawra Hocane and actor Fawad Khan.
