​Income tax grills Amalanathan

Chennai:
After conducting raids during the last 48 hours, Income Tax department on Friday began investigation at their premises by summoning those whose premises were raided for tax evasion as well as links with sand mining baron Shekar Reddy.



Speculation was rife that former chief secretary P Rama Mohana Rao’s son Vivek along with advocate Amalanathan were summoned for investigation after raids were conducted on their premises by Income Tax sleuths.



Amalanathan arrived around 2pm and sources said that he was grilled for nearly two hours. No information was provided on the tax evasion by Amalanathan by Income tax sources.



After the investigation got over, Amalanathan evaded reporters, who were waiting in front of the office of Director General of Investigation, Income Tax.



The wait for Vivek, who was reported to have been summoned by Income Tax department, proved futile for reporters and cameramen as he did not appear till evening. No details were provided by Income Tax sources.



Meanwhile, Enforcement Directorate is still awaiting the preliminary report from income Tax department on the raids being conducted on 20 places during the last two days.



“We have yet to get the report,” said Enforcement Directorate sources. The report is crucial as it could pave way for Enforcement directorate to join the investigation which could even result in arrests.
