Chennai:
Vivek Pappisetti, the son of former Tamil Nadu chief secretary P Rama Mohana Rao, was interrogated by Income Tax officials late on Friday.
He was summoned a week ago by Income Tax department officials after they conducted raids at his as well as his father’s premises on December 21.
Vivek, who looked calm, alighted from his car and entered the Director General Income Tax (Investigations) building at around 3.45pm.
Dressed in a white shirt and carrying a black colour bag, Vivek evaded queries from waiting media as he walked into the entrance.
Income Tax souces said that Vivek has been evading the Income Tax department summons after his house in Tiruvanmiyur was raided.
Initially, Vivek evaded the summons on Friday and sought a day or two as his wife is pregnant. He was prompt in messaging the income Tax. But since Monday, he has been evasive.
This has resulted in Income Tax department planning to initiate action against him.
To a query whether Vivek will be arrested by the Income tax department, the source said that they don;t have powers to arrest Vivek.
Vivek is being interrogated for his links with sand mining baron Shekar Reddy who is currently in judicial custody
