Income Tax (I-T) officials on Thursday started searching more properties of persons acquainted with Minister for Electricity, Excise and Prohibition V. Senthilbalaji in Karur and adjoining places.
The residence of V. Ashok Kumar, the brother of the Minister, at Ramakrishnapuram; the farmhouse of Sankar Anand, a government contractor, at Ezhuthiyapatti near Mayanur; and the residence of a lawyer at Jawahar Bazaar were among the new places where the searches were under way.
A group of officials, accompanied by Central Reserve Police Force personnel, went to Mr. Ashok Kumar’s residence for a search on Thursday afternoon and waited for some time for the door to open. It was subsequently opened by someone. The officials thereafter entered the residence and brought it under their control.
