Chennai: A day after Rs 2.07 crore cash was seized from the house of a cab operator, the income tax officials on Tuesday said that the said cab operator had been summoned to give a statement. “He was summoned to appear before the investigating officer on Tuesday. But has not appeared till evening,” an income-tax officer said.
A city police team stumbled upon huge bundles of Rs 2,000 notes in a bath tub in the house of cab operator Tamilan, 35, at VGP Avenue when they went there looking for narcotics based on an anonymous call.
Police informed the income-tax department about the seizure and handed the over the cash to the I-T men for further probe. Tamilan manages over 200 cabs running for software firms in South Chennai.
Though he was not at his house when the money was seized, he later told the I-T officers that he could give account for the cash. “But he is yet to come and give us account,” an income-tax officer said.
