Bengluru (August 2, 2017): The Income Tax department on Wednesday recovered Rs 7.5 crore in cash while raiding the Delhi residence of Karnataka Minister DK Shivakumar.
The taxmen raided nearly 39 premises across the country owned by the minister and his family with the help of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel officials – including his home in Bengaluru.
Shivakumar, the Energy Minister in Congress-led Siddaramaiah government, was housing 44 Congress MLAs from Gujarat till the day of the Rajya Sabha elections, August 8. Congress leaders called the entire episode ‘witch-hunt’. Reports of raids being conducted at the luxury resort have emerged.
However, Union Minister Arun Jaitley deflated the rumours, stating that no such report took place in the resort and no MLA was searched.
