Income tax (I-T) officials in raids on minister Sabitha Indra Reddy’s associates and relatives on Tuesday and Wednesday recovered Rs 7.5 crore cash, which was allegedly set to be distributed to voters for the upcoming polls.

The money was recovered in raids on realtor Pradeep Reddy and Dr Reddy’s employee K. Narender Reddy over the past three days. Sources said I-T officials verified documents, bank accounts, I-T returns and business activities of Pradeep Reddy, concluding that the money was unaccounted for.
