Mumbai, February 25: The income tax (I-T investigation) department is searching the premises of influential Shiv Sena corporator Yashwant Jadhav and his MLA wife Yamini Jadhav, at the Byculla area of South Mumbai. Jadhav is chairman of BMC’s powerful Standing Committee that has final authority to approve all big financial proposals of the civic body.
According to reports, the Enforcement Directorate arrived at Jadhav's residence this morning. The I-T is also searching the premises of a few BMC contractors. Shiv Sena is ruling the BMC civic body for over two decades and the next election is to take place in a couple of months. Last year, the I-T conducted a probe into the election affidavit of Shiv Sena's Byculla MLA Yamini Jadhav and called it "erroneous".
