Bengaluru: Income Tax officials on Wednesday raided the residence of Karnataka Congress Secretary Vijaya Mulgund, an official said.
“The raid is related to the earlier raid on Karnataka Power Minister DK Shivakumar’s house that took place a few weeks ago,” an IT Department official said. “Today’s raids are taking place simultaneously in New Delhi, Chennai and Bengaluru,” added the official.
On August 2, IT officials raided Shivakumar’s official residence here and a private resort near the city where 44 Congress lawmakers from Gujarat were staying.
The officials had then reportedly seized over Rs 10 crore. The raids were conducted at 39 locations of his relatives and aides in New Delhi and Bengaluru.
The Congress had then accused the BJP of indulging in “political vendetta” and continues to maintain its stand.
