Income Tax officials on Tuesday raided offices and homes of 11
government contractors in Bengaluru and Mysuru in poll-bound Karnataka
for alleged tax evasion, a senior official said.
"Raids were
conducted by officials of the I-T Investigation Wing on one contractor
in Bengaluru and 10 in Mysuru. They work on state government's projects
through tendering," Income Tax Department Joint Commissioner G. Ramesh
said in a statement here.
Denying reports in a section of the
media, including news channels, Ramesh said that the office or residence
of Public Works Department Minister M.C. Mahadevappa was not searched
in Bengaluru or Mysuru.
"No Minister's premises was raided as reported by some media channels," he clarified.
Election to the 224-member Assembly will be held on May 12, with vote count on May 15.
The
officials seized Rs 4.13 crore and 4.52 kg gold jewellery valued at Rs
1.32 crore during the raids across the southern state in the last three
weeks.
"Of the Rs 4.13 crore seized, Bengaluru accounts for
seizure of Rs 2.47 crore and Ballari Rs 55 lakh," Ramesh said in a
statement on April 21.
The mine-rich Ballari town is 330 km from Bengaluru.
The Income Tax Department had stepped up surveillance and in view of the elections.
In
one of the raids, officials seized Rs 55 lakh from a person. In another
case, household articles valued at Rs 9.51 crore intended for
distribution were found stored in a warehouse near Mysuru.
