I-T sleuths raid Cong leader Atmananda’s house in Mandya
Bengaluru, Apr 3: Intensifying its searches in Mandya ahead of the Lok Sabha polls, the Income Tax department Wednesday raided the house of a Congress leader M S Atmananda.
The raids were carried out during noon with the help of CRPF jawans, I-T sources said.
Details would be provided once the searches concluded, they said.
A week ago, income tax sleuths had raided multiple locations in Bengaluru, Mandya, Ramanagar, Mysuru, Hassan and Shimoga, triggering angry reaction from the ruling Congress and the JD(S).
A day prior to the searches, Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy had said early morning raids on Congress and theJD(S) leaders were in the offing with the help of CRPF Jawans.
The next morning saw I-T sleuths raiding many places.
The Congress and the JD(S) leaders later staged a demonstration outside the I-T office on March 28.
The ruling alliance alleged that the raids were carried out on JD(S) leaders overseeing the elections of Kumaraswamy's son, Nikhil, in Mandya and nephew Prajwal Revanna in Hassan.
Strongly defending its action, the I-T department had said its activities should not be politicised, personalised or trivialised.
Karnataka will go to polls in two phases, 14 constituencies each, on April 18 and 23.

New Delhi (PTI): The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced a detailed assessment scheme for Class 10 exams in the Middle East region which were cancelled amid escalating West Asia conflict, according to officials.
The exams were cancelled following a critical review of the prevailing situation across Bahrain, Iran, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
According to CBSE Examination Controller Sanyam Bhardwaj, examinations scheduled from February 17 to 28 were conducted successfully. During this period, six academic subjects, including Mathematics, English and Science, were completed. Additionally, 16 language papers and 22 skill subject examinations were also conducted.
The board has divided candidates into five categories -- students who appeared in all examinations, students who appeared in four examinations, students who appeared in three examinations, students who appeared in two examinations and private students registered under the compartment category.
"The results of students who appeared for all exams will be declared based on their performance in the examinations. The result of students who appeared in four subjects will be declared based on the average of the marks obtained in the best three performing subjects for the subjects whose examinations have not been conducted," Bhardwaj said.
"The result of students who appeared in three subjects will be declared based on the average of the marks obtained in the best two performing subjects for the subjects whose examinations have not been conducted," he added.
The examination controller explained that very few students have appeared in the examinations in only two subjects.
"Their results will be declared based on the average of the marks of two subjects in the remaining subject," he said.
The results of Middle East students will be declared along with the rest of the students. Students will be allowed to improve their performance through the second board examinations according to policy.
