I do not understand your usage of words, "Raid" and "Arrest".
I also do not know what do you mean by "can ukba put 320 on the basis of less amount in account?" Is that a law reference point or something?

Do you mean to say your friend was already granted Tier 1 visa and is now in trouble because he does not have access to funds anymore?

In that case, all they would do is curtail the leave and send him back to the home country. Its surprising to see that UKBA folks do have so much time to follow up with every successful applicant and check if they continue to have access by raiding their homes? or it may be a case where some other person has reported to UKBA about any inappropriate behaviour of the applicant which resulted in UKBA's raid.
Anyway sounds very confusing. Please give further details.

Please provide more details about it.

He must had used some other false/dodgy documents in his application.

Seems a new twist in Entrepreneur Visa, if the raid surely relates to same reason.

Putting 200K in an account all at once or with a couple of transactions and taking them out all at once or with a couple of transactions are checked in relation to different factors like account history, account category, transaction frequency, income source, salary, business etc. Any ambiguous transactions alarms money laundering OR black money which is a crime and could end up with account closure or legal proceedings.

UKBA do not have access to his bank account - It must have been something else.

Just googled UKBA + 320 and this is what I got..

It seems something to do with being an immigration offender/ overstayer etc.

And this...

but nothing makes sense here, until shahbazali gives more details about the post.

UKBA does not have access to the bank accounts.
At most they can call and request the banks and banks will reject the request on the clause of confidentiality.
Something else for sure

[RizKCB]

This raid might be something else But it is wrong to say that UKBA dont have access to our bank accounts? When there is any kind of serious investigation involved, UKBA along with other organizations can do it anytime and we have already allowed them by signing in application.

these types of surprise visit by ukba mostly happen to those applicant who use fake document and ukba ukba regard it as deception.

not to worry about it if u have used all genuine document and plz dont make ppl panic by using words "Raids""Arrest""FUNNY IS 320"

from where this word came from????? have to google word 320 lol

[RizKCB]

Maybe it is erroneously written as mixture of '302' and '420'

[shahbazali]

the bank statement was original but now money is not in it.
I meant deception by 320.
what we will say if ukba comes with warrant? is it not raid?

how can we come to know that what was the reason of this ukba home visit.

thanks

Unbelievable because ukba can refuse or raise subsequently an issue of 320 if they find any forged docs but less amount cannot turn them to impose 320 nor they have enough time to make any raid relevant to an under process application unless a spouse/partner of British/European citizen application where they may turn up in order to confirm the genuineness of marriage.

Do not agree with you on this. No, they do turn up in some cases by banging the door early morning if forged documents are used and they are 100% sure about it.

If what rizwan is saying is true;

then this is such a waste of resources and other visa applicants money!
They could use these people resources for processing applications which have been pending for 9-10 months rather.
This is a crazy govt with priorities of appeasing voters only, and not getting skilled people in.

Looks like it is possible - see the news on ukba website

But only when false docs are produced...
