The CBI on Saturday sealed the South Mumbai residence of senior NCP leader and MP Padmasinh Patil, arrested in connection with the murder of Congress leader Pawanraje Nimbalkar.

A team of the investigating agency had gone to Patil's house in Colaba in South Mumbai to conduct a search, but since it was locked, the CBI sealed the house and a guard has been deployed outside, Counsel Ejaz Khan said.
