Following searches on the homes of relatives, acquaintances, and educational institutions managed by family members of Minister for Labour and Employment Ch Malla Reddy, the Income Tax authorities issued notices to ten more people, requesting that they appear before them for investigation.
Following last week’s raids, I-T officials served notices on approximately 15 people, directing them to appear before them in connection with the investigation into the seizure of cash and other documents during the searches. Ten more people have now been summoned to appear before the I-T department for investigation.
On Monday, a few of the Minister’s relatives, including his younger son Ch Bhadra Reddy, joined the investigation and submitted documents that the authorities had requested. The statements of Ch Bhadra Reddy, Marri Rajashekhar Reddy, and others who appeared were recorded by I-T officials.
According to sources, the I-T authorities were focused on transactions involving the allocation of medical seats in the medical college managed by the Minister’s family. The investigation will likely last until the first week of December.

After leaving the I-T office, Ch Bhadra Reddy stated that they had answered all of the I-T officials’ questions and submitted all of the documents that they had requested.
They told us they would call us again if further investigation was required, and they asked us to submit the details in the format they specified, he said.
Malla Reddy recently alleged that the BJP government at the Centre was carrying out the Income Tax (I-T) raids on his premised out of “political vendetta”.
As the I-T Department continued searches at the offices and residences of Malla Reddy and his family members, the Minister slammed the Central government for what he called its conspiracy to target them and their institutions.
Telling reporters that CRPF personnel also acted with highhandedness with his son, he said that “all this is happening because I am the minister in the TRS government. They are deliberately doing all this to target the KCR government”.
