They said the searches which are on since morning, were “routine” in nature wherein the firm’s accounts would be verified every quarter to check tax evasion, if any.

His Madhucon executes various roads and other major projects in Andhra Pradesh as well as other States.
Its operations also extend to some foreign countries.
The TDP leader was not present when the IT officials raided his premises.
