The notice your friend got is based on the provision of Section 11 (1) of RTI Act.

Quote:
Where a Central Public Information Officer or a State Public Information Officer, as the case may be, intends to disclose any information or record, or part thereof on a request made under this Act, which relates to or has been supplied by a third party and has been treated as confidential by that third party, the Central Public Information Officer or State Public Information Officer, as the case may be, shall, within five days from the receipt of the request, give a written notice to such third party of the request and of the fact that the Central Public Information Officer or State Public Information Officer, as the case may be, intends to disclose the information or record, or part thereof, and invite the third party to make a submission in writing or orally, regarding whether the information should be disclosed, and such submission of the third party shall be kept in view while taking a decision about disclosure of information
There is no clear statement weather, the name of the person can be revealed or not. However, as the Act implies, that the 3rd party can also represent, it can be conferred that, Yes! You can get to know who wants to know the information.

However, the raid details are completely personal details, and revealing it may be infringement upon personal privacy, and it also do not serve any public interest hence is liable not to be disclosed.
