IT officials raid Gayathri Shanthe Gowda’s Chikkamagaluru house for second day
Chikkamagaluru: The Income Tax Department raid on the residence of Gayathri Shanthe Gowda, former MLC and Congress Karnataka leader, continued for the second day on Friday.
IT officials had reportedly visited the Congress leader’s house near the flower market in town on Thursday morning and inspected the documents. The work was carried out on Friday too, said sources.
The stretch of road outside Shanthe Gowda’s house was blocked with barricades, to keep citizens from using it. The barricades were put up also as a preventive measure, since members and activists of the Congress had protested near the house of the KPCC general secretary, objecting to the raid.
It is also learned that Gayathri Shanthe Gowda, who is currently in Bengaluru, has not come to her house in Chikkamagaluru, in spite of the raid for two days.
In addition, the IT officials on Thursday are learned to have raided the residence of Gayathri Shanthe Gowda in Nagarbhavi, the residences of the three people employed for housework by her and the office of the stone-crushing unit in Marle in Chikkamagaluru. The residence of Gayathri Shanthe Gowda’s son-in-law Santhosh in Belur, Hassan district, was also raided on Thursday morning, the sources have said.
