The Income Tax department on Monday launched searches at the premises of a well-known Tamil Nadu🐟-ba♚sed real estate firm, G Square official sources said.
Sea𒀰rches were b𒁃eing held in different locations in Tamil Nadu, including in Chennai, sources said.
G Square has been at the centre of the storm over allegations that it has close ties with the ruling party and family members of state Chief Min✱ister and DMK꧂ Supremo M K Stalin.
The raids come a week after Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Tamil Nadu state president K Annamalai released ‘DMK Files' in which he🤡 provided details of vast properties owned by DMK ministers, leaders and others related to ruling party leaders.
He alleged that the revenue of the realtor company G Square observed aꦉ manifold increase since 2019, because of their links with Tamil Nadu’s ruling party.
According to a report by The News Minute, the company had released a statement say🌜ing that they were neither owned nor controlled by the DMK.
Meanwhile, the ruling DMK in♏ Tamil Nadu has slapped a legal notice on state BJP chief K Annamalai over his graft allegations against the party, its President and Chief Minister M K Stalin, demanding an apology and damage🌃s to the tune of Rs 500 crore.
The 10-pag💛e notice issued on behalf of DMK Organisation Secretary R S Bharathi said Annamalai's allegations named 'DMK Files' and targeted at 🎐Stalin and other party leaders were "false, baseless, defamatory, imaginary and scandalous."
Releasing a nearly 15-minute video clip "DMK Files (Part-I)" showcasing what he claimed were assets of ruling party personalities and its valuation, Annamalai said three other parts of the 'expose' would also be released later which would include details about o꧒ther political parties as well.
