On Saturday morning, the Income Tax Department conducted several raids at various place in Uttar Pradesh including premises of Samajwadi Party (SP) national secretary and Rajiv Rai in Mau and RCL Group promoter Manoj Yadav in Mainpuri.
Both of them are considered to be close aides of Akhilesh Yadav.
Income Tax raids on Rajiv Rai have been carried out owing to suspicion of tax evasion. Rai is the legal owner of multiple other properties across Lucknow, Mainpuri, and Agra. As per sources, I-T raids at those premises too are most likely to be conducted.
Rajeev Rai is the national spokesperson of the Samajwadi Party. He is also the founder and chairman of AVK Group of Institutions, a chain of institutions in Bengaluru.
The raid went on for hours since 7 am at the residence of Rai at Sahadatpura of Mau district.
The Samajwadi Party workers had gathered outside the National Secretary’s residence and raised objections upon learning of Income Tax raids. Subsequently, the area was cordoned off by Mau Police.
