PTI, HYDERABAD: The Income Tax Department on Thursday conducted searches at the residences of Telangana Congress Working president A Revanth Reddy here and at Kodangal in Vikarabad district.
According to sources, searches were also conducted at the residence of Sebastian Harry who was an accused along with Revanth Reddy in a case related to bribing a nominated MLA to seek vote in favour of a Telugu Desam nominee in the Legislative Council elections in June 2015.
The Congress party condemned the raids and termed it as “political vendetta” by the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi in the state and the BJP at the centre, but both the TRS and BJP denied the charge and said they had nothing to do with the I-T Department’s actions.
A senior official of the I-T Department said the raids were aimed at an infrastructure company belonging to Revanth Reddy’s relatives.
Sources close to the development said searches were conducted at about a dozen places including those belonging to the relatives of the Congress leader at various locations in the city.
