BENGALURU/BELLARY: Five days after the ‘controversial’ lavish wedding of Brahmini, daughter of former minister and mining baron Gali Janardhan Reddy in the wake of demonetization, the income tax department on Monday conducted raids at his Obulapuram mining company in Bellary.
As per media reports, the mining baron’s residences are being raided by a Special Investigation Team headed by Kausalya Kumar.
Certain important documents, which are likely to provide some evidence against Gali Janardhan Reddy were reportedly seized. Raids are still reportedly on at four of the Gali Janardhan Reddy’s residences in Bellary. The exact reason of the sudden raids, however, is yet to be ascertained.
The former Karnataka minister has been accused in the illegal mining case of Obulapuram Mining Company.
