Income tax sleuths on Wednesday raided over half a dozen locations of a prominent organisation in Delhi and Srinagar on suspicion of its involvement in terror financing. The government has not revealed the name of the organisation.

“Search action has been conducted at 4 premises in the Valley and 3 in the National Capital. The search action has yielded credible evidence of large scale undisclosed financial transactions carried out in the business of quarrying, hotels etc,” the Income Tax Department said in a statement.

It said during the search, clinching evidence was also unearthed of huge unaccounted expenditure having been incurred in cash on the reconstruction and remodelling of the residential premises presently being used by the tax evader’s family. Despite carrying out large scale financial transactions, neither the main protagonist nor any member of his family has ever filed any income tax returns. “The evidence found in search action is robust enough to show a deliberate and wilful attempt to evade tax,” it said. It further said that tax officials seized 3 hard discs. It believed that the analysis of the information contained in the discs is likely to yield even more substantial evidence against the tax evader and his associates.
