Income Tax officials of Guwahati started conducting raid operations across the state on 18^th April 2012.

According to the Times of India Report: The IT sleuths raided offices and bond houses of Jalan Group, Dhanichand Biddhichand Group and Neutia Group and the three were charged of tax evasion in crores, said an IT official.

Income Department sources said the sleuths found huge amounts of cash and gold during the operation. Many warehouses, bonds and offices of the groups have been sealed.

“We found liquor bottles, which were bottled in one of the bottling plants at Changsari and labelled with fake price tags. Most of these liquor bottles were supposed to be sold in Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland illegally,” informed the official.

IT official added, “One of these groups has links with powerful politicians of the state and was dodging tax revenues with their help. The investigation is likely to reveal more links between corrupt politicians and these businessmen.”

Apart from the offices and bond houses located in and around the city, IT sleuths also raided the offices of Jalan Group and Nehatia group in Tinsukia and Dibrugarh.
