I-T searches at premises of BJP leader Sushil Vaswani in MP

The searches are believed to be part of ongoing cash clean up drive in the wake of demonetisation

The Income Tax sleuths on Tuesday conducted searches at the residential and official premises of a local Bharatiya Janata Party leader Sushil Vaswani in Bhopal.

The searches began in the morning from Vaswani's home at Bairagarh, a suburb of Bhopal, and followed on to other premises including hotels and a co-operative bank run by him and family, I-T officials said.

Though I-T officials did not provide any details, the searches are believed to be part of the ongoing cash clean up drive in the wake of demonetisation.
