Income tax searches continued for a third day at multiple locations linked to Sundargarh-based businessman Ghanshyam Dalmia. On Saturday, I-T officials questioned Dalmia’s son Abhisek about the alleged tax evasion.

Sources said search is in progress at 10 places linked to Dalmia in Sundargarh, Rourkela, and Bargarh. The teams are also simultaneously carrying out search operations at 30 places in other states.
