NEW DELHI: About Rs 7 crore cash and three kilograms of gold concealed under a bed and in a bathroom have allegedly been seized by the Income Tax Department in raids against a Gurgaon-based auto parts manufacturing firm and its owner, officials said.
The department conducted raids at about 30 locations in Delhi, Gurgaon and few other cities in north India as part of its operation to check tax evasion, the officials said.
They said the premises of the firm -- Jai Bharat Maruti .. and its chairman S K Arya were raided and tax sleuths recovered Rs seven crore cash and about three kilograms of gold, including some jewellery.
