Deccan Chargers Office Raided

The IPL controversy that was triggered off by Lalit Modi\'s allegations that Shashi Tharoor was unfairly influencing the Kochi team\'s bid is on in full swing.

The Income Tax department, today, raided premises of all IPL franchise owners throughout the country, including those of the Deccan Chargers, owned by Hyderabad\'s E Venkatrami Reddy. In what turned out to be a full-fledged investigation, all important documents were taken and are now under scrutiny.

Shah Rukh Khan\'s Kolkata Knight Riders offices were also turned over, and every document found was scanned by an army of I-T officials. India Cement (the owners of Chennai Super Kings) offices in Chennai were also raided and put under evaluation.
