BENGALURU: The police have written to the Income Tax department to investigate the assets of Ashwarya Gowda, an accused involved in a multi-crore scam.
Aishwarya is accused of cheating several people, including wealthy individuals, by promising them high returns on investments. Complaints were filed against her in various police stations, including Chandra Layout, RR Nagar and Mandya.
During the investigation, police found records of transactions worth Rs 70 crore in various bank accounts over the past two years. They also seized 1 kg of gold jewellery, 29 kg of silver and five luxury cars from her house.
The police have asked the I-T department to investigate possible tax evasion. According to police sources, Aishwarya will not be able to escape I-T scrutiny as easily as she has evaded police action so far. The I-T department will investigate Aishwarya’s financial transactions and assets to determine if she has evaded taxes. This could lead to further trouble for her, as tax evasion is a serious offene.
It has been learned that the I-T department officials have obtained information from the investigators about the documents found during the investigation related to the tax fraud. More details are awaited.
