IT officials raid properties of Kamal Nath`s aides |
Praveen Kakkar and RK Miglani aide to the Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister and senior Congress Leader Kamal Nath, were raided by Income Tax officers in various locations on Sunday. A team of income-tax officers from Delhi in a countrywide operation spanning 50 locations raided both their homes and known locations. Even as the tax officials maintained that the searches were conducted based on information of large cash movement. Ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, the pre-dawn crackdown has triggered a political storm in the state. Sources in the IT department said close to $1.6 billion was unearthed during the operations so far, and documents were recovered during searches on the premises in Delhi, MP and Goa. The tax department is yet to issue details of seizure from the searches. As BJP is saying that it shows the corrupt politicians in the congress party the Congress is alleging that its a political vengeance, a futile attempt by BJP to tarnish the image of Congress on poll eve.
