Chiranjeevi slams Sakshi in IT raids case on his son-in-law

Income tax officials conducted raids at the houses and office premises of actor-turned-politician Chiranjeevi’s businessman son-in-law Vishnu Prasad here. The raids began on Friday at Prasad’s residence in the posh Poes Garden area and continued on Saturday. Vishnu Prasad is married to Sushmita, Chiranjeevi’s elder daughter.
Officials from the Chennai investigation unit of the I-T department entered Prasad’s house at 10.30am on Friday. Simultaneously, five other teams raided the offices of Vishnu Prasad and his father Siva Prasad and their houses in Nungambakkam, T Nagar, Chittaranjan Salai in Teynampet and Desikachari Road near Mylapore.
A senior IT official claimed they had seized 35 cartons from a storeroom at Prasad’s Poes Garden residence. “When we opened one of the cartons, we found bundles of notes. The carton contained about 1 crore. We seized 35 such cartons and assume there could be several crores,” the official said.
