Days after mining baron and former Karnataka minister G Janardhana Reddy organised his daughter’s big-fat wedding, the IT department officials turned up at his offices in Ballari district with a questionnaire for the expenses incurred.
Around 2 pm on Monday, a few government officials entered his office located at the premises of the Obalapuram Mining Company office building, near his house on Siruguppa road.
The News Minute has a copy of the IT department’s notice and questionnaire.
In a document dated 21 November, the Office of the Assistant Director of Income Tax (Investigations) in Bengaluru issued Janardhana a notice under Section 133A(5) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, and told him to furnish the details of the expenses in the prescribed format. He is legally bound to reply to that questionnaire before 25 November.
