Wedding expenses: Reddy replies to I-T notice

Former minister and mining baron G Janardhana Reddy has replied to the notice served on him by the IncomeTax deportment in connection with expenditure incurred on the grand wedding of his daughter.

Reddy’s daughter Brahmini married Rajeev Reddy at the Palace Grounds here on November 16. The I-T officials on November 20 raided Reddy’s house in Ballari and 10 even management firms in Bengaluru and Hyderabad.

The department had served a "questionnaire" on Reddy seeking details of the expenditure incurred and asked him to reply on or before November 25. Sources in the I-T department confirmed that they have got a response from Reddy. Sources, however, refused to divulge any details.­
