MUMBAI: BJP's Kirit Somaiya has filed a complaint with the investigation arm of the income-tax against chief minister Uddhav Thackeray for concealment of land/properties and sought an investigation into the same.
On Monday, Somaiya met M V Bhanumathi, director general investigations. In his complaint, Somaiya said the land purchased by the Thackeray family from the late Anvay Naik at Korlai village Alibaug needed to be investigated as the agreement states the market value of the property as Rs 4 crore while the purchase price has been stated as Rs 2 crore.
Somaiya alleged that Thackeray has deliberately concealed the ownership of the bungalows/houses held jointly in the election affidavit and income tax returns.
Anvay Naik's family from whom the Thackeray's purchased the land had complained that Republic news channel head Arnab Goswami and two others had abetted his suicide. Investigations are on.
