A team of income-tax officers from Delhi raided the homes and offices of close aides of Madhya Pradesh chief minister Kamal Nath — Praveen Kakkar and R K Miglani — in a countrywide operation spanning 50 locations on Sunday.
Ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, the pre-dawn crackdown has triggered a political storm in MP even as tax officials maintained that the searches were conducted based on information of large cash movement. Sources in the department said close to Rs 11 crore 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.
