ANC teams from Mumbai and the Kolhapur Police on Tuesday raided the farmhouse at Dholgarwadi village in Chandgad taluka of the western Maharashtra district, located 375 km away from Mumbai, acting on the information given by a woman drug peddler who was nabbed in suburban Bandra recently, the official added.
