The teams of I-T department’s Investigation Branch from Jaipur, Jodhpur, Bikaner, Udaipur and Sri Ganganagar launched a coordinated search operation in the morning. The action was taken on reports of tax evasion and black money.
The raiding teams searched offices, godowns and other premises belonging to the two groups in the Marble Area of Kishangarh, Laxmi Narayan Vihar, Rajhans Colony and Prithviraj Nagar. Documents related to transactions were seized from Kekari-situated residences, some hotels, and offices. Raids were carried out at offices at mining locations in Savar.
