Chennai:
Former Tamil Nadu Chief secretary’s son Vivek Pappisetti is ignoring the summons issued by Income Tax department to report at the office even as officials are looking at other alternatives.
Vivek, whose house in Tiruvanmiyur was raided along with his father’s on December 21, was summoned by Income Tax department to appear on Friday at the Director generakl of income Tax ( Investigations) office.
Interestingly, Rama Mohana Rao too had volunteered to come to the department on Friday. “We told him that his presence is not required. He will be called only when required,” sources said.
“We are poring through the documents seized. We will summon him as and when required,” sources told Express.
However, Vivek expressed his inability to report on Friday as he is attending to his wife who is pregnant. “Vivek assured that he will report to the office on Saturday,” said the official.
“We waited for him him on Saturday and messaged him. He said he will visit the department on Monday,” said the official.
“Now for the last two days, he is ignoring our messages and not picking up calls,” the official added.
To a query on whether they are planning to initiate any action in this regard, Income Tax department sources said that they are looking into the issue
