A major income tax operation created a stir in Rajasthan on Wednesday after the Income Tax Department conducted raids on the popular Kanha Restaurant group. The action began early morning and covered 33 locations linked to the group across six cities in Rajasthan and one location in Mumbai.
According to official sources, teams from the Investigation Wing reached the premises around 7 am. Despite bad weather and rainfall in some areas, officials moved quickly and launched the operation without delay. The raids targeted business establishments and residential premises connected to the restaurant’s promoters.
Officials said the Kanha Group had been under surveillance for a long time due to suspected tax evasion. After preliminary verification, the department planned a coordinated operation. The searches covered 26 locations in Jaipur, two in Udaipur, and one each in Kota, Sri Ganganagar, Karauli, and Hindaun. One related premise in Mumbai was also searched simultaneously.
During the operation, officials examined financial documents, computer hard disks, digital records, and bank account details. A large security force supported the teams to ensure smooth proceedings. The department has not yet disclosed findings. Officials said further action will depend on the outcome of document verification.
