Bengaluru, Apr 16: Sleuths from the Income Tax department on Monday searched the office and residence of B Shivanna, MLA of Anekal constituency in Bengaluru urban district.

The development comes a day after Congress released its first list of candidates for May 12 Karnataka assembly polls. Shivanna is among the 218 candidates chosen by the high command.

There has been no official confirmation from the I-T Department yet on the findings. However, highly placed sources said that the MLA’s office and residences were raided by I-T sleuths.

In March, Congress MLC Raghu Achar had also faced raids by the I-T Department. Raghu is known to be a close aide of KPCC President G Parameshwara.

The Congress in the state has maintained that the BJP-ruled centre was misusing central agencies to carry out political vendetta. It all started with massive I-T raids on Energy Minister DK Shivakumar and his associates in August 2017.
