Mumbai/Nagpur: Investigation Wing of the Income Tax Department on Thursday conducted searches on premises of toll-road firm IRB Infrastructure across Maharashtra.
The I-T sleuths said they suspected that the company used to transact using inflated bills.
"We conducted searches on around 40 premises of IRB and its subsidiaries across Mumbai, Pune and Nagpur. We suspect there is a possibility of tax evasion caused by the alleged inflated bills," I-T sources said here.
The sleuths also conducted searches at Ideal Energy, a subsidiary of IRB which has a power plant at Bela, about 40km from Nagpur, they said.
BJP President Nitin Gadkari's son Nikhil is one of the directors of Ideal Energy.
Nitin Gadkari's Purti ethnol-blending plant is situated at Bela and Ideal unit was adjacent to the plant.
Despite repeated attempts, IRB was not available for comments.
