The Income Tax (IT) department on Friday knocked on the doors of V. Sabareesan, son-in-law of DMK president M.K. Stalin and a few of his associates.
Over 25 officials from the IT department are searching his residence at Neelankari on East Coast Road and a few office premises in Chennai. The searches are happening at over four locations as of Friday morning. A real estate firm, G-Square, is also being searched.
“Two associates of Sabareesan – Karthik Mohan and G-Square Bala are also under the scanner,” a senior official said. The taxmen refused to provide further details on the searches and said they would give an update later in the day as the searches progress.
