Allegedly being called a Hawal kand, Praveen Kakkar’s home in Indore and RK Miglani’s in Delhi were raided by income tax officers this morning.
The homes of Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath’s former private secretary Praveen Kakkar in Indore and former advisor Rajendra Kumar Miglani in Delhi were raided by income tax officers this morning in connection with an alleged hawala (illegal transaction) case, sources said.
Sources said Rs. 9 crore has been found so far from the raid.
The two officers had already quit from their posts after the election code came into force last month, reports sources.
A team of over 15 income tax officers from Delhi reached the home of Mr. Kakkar in Indore’s posh Vijay Nagar at 3 am and started searching the premises, sources said. They also raided a showroom at the same area and some other properties.
The tax officers said the two men allegedly made huge cash transactions via a hawala route during election season.
“They (Election Commission) were not informed about these raids. There is no EC role in this,” said a source who asked not to be named.
Chief Minister Kamal Nath is campaigning for the Congress in Madhya Pradesh’s Chhindwara, from where he is scheduled to visit Hoshangabad.
