Meanwhile the retail major Saravana stores, popular food joint Hotchips and Vasanth & Co were raided by the tax officials.



According to sources in Chennai, six spots, including the corporate offices of the Saravana stores were searched and another team conducted similar searches in Coimbatore.

An official said the political vacuum and the brisk business pattern of Tamilnadu are now eyed by all the central agencies including the income tax. Further it may be noted that Saravana stores known for splashing money on regular TV commercials roping in heroines had been in the IT and Tax officials' radar for quite some time.
