    What's the story

    On Wednesday morning, the Income Tax Department started carrying out raids in 16 locations linked to Delhi Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot, including his Vasant Kunj residence.

    Reportedly, the raids are being carried out as part of the I-T Department's probe into two companies owned and operated by members of Gahlot's family.

    However, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal has alleged political vendetta.

    Here are the details.

    Details

    What we know about the I-T Department raids

    Among the 16 locations, searches are underway at Brisk Infrastructure and Developers Ltd and Corporate International Financial Services Ltd, the two companies linked to Gahlot's family.

    According to news agency PTI, the raids are being conducted as part of a tax evasion probe, prompted by multiple suspicious transactions and alleged under-reporting of profits on part of the two companies.

    Searches

    Other locations where searches were carried out

    Among the two companies, Brisk Infrastructure and Development is engaged in the real estate sector, while Corporate International Financial Services is said to be a non-banking financial services company.

    In addition to raiding their premises and Gahlot's residence, the I-T Department also carried out searches in offices and residences of Delhi's Defence Colony, Paschim Vihar, Najafgarh, Laxmi Nagar, and Gurugram's Palam Vihar area.

    AAP reaction

    How Kejriwal and AAP officials reacted to the raids

    Reacting to the raids, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal alleged that the raids were a manifestation of political vendetta against the AAP government by the BJP.

    Similarly, deputy CM Manish Sisodia's media adviser, Arunoday Prakash said that the BJP "won't be able to bog AAP down" with the raids, and warned that the "AAP has been counting raids" since it beat the BJP in elections.

    Kejriwal takes to Twitter to blast the BJP

    नीरव मोदी, माल्या से दोस्ती और हम पर रेड?

    मोदी जी, आपने मुझ पे, सत्येन्द्र पे और मनीष पे भी तो रेड करवाई थीं? उनका क्या हुआ? कुछ मिला? नहीं मिला? तो अगली रेड करने के पहले दिल्ली वालों से उनकी चुनी सरकार को निरंतर परेशान करने के लिए माफ़ी तो माँग लीजिए? https://t.co/GUGEb0dwL5
