More than Rs 2 crore in cash was seized from an IAS couple in Bhopal during simultaneous Income Tax raids conducted in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh on Thursday.

The haul of over Rs 2 crore was recovered from the official bungalow of Arvind Joshi and his wife Tinoo Joshi, both principal secretaries, in Bhopal. While the husband was recently shifted to the Jail and Parliamentary Proceedings Department after a long stint in the Water Resources Department, the wife is posted in the Women and Child Welfare Department.

Arvind surrendered unaccounted investment of about Rs 2.25 crore made in the name of his mother. The bureaucrats had also invested money in a pulse mill.

The house of former IAS officer M A Khan, who reportedly escaped after learning about the raid, was sealed in Bhopal. He was yet to vacate his official residence.

The houses and other premises of Chief Engineer of Madhya Pradesh Road Development Corporation Deepak Asai, Executive Engineer Ramprasad Asai, a branch manager and an agent of a private insurance company were raided simultaneously. The I-T team also conducted raids at establishments of a business family.

In Chhattisgarh, I-T sleuths carried out raids at the residences of senior IAS officer and state Agriculture Secretary Babulal Agrawal, his kin and a chartered accountant.
